My old man used to always drive 911 Porsches; I remember being in the back seat of them and it all stemmed from that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I started doing cart racing at a very young age. That got us into motorsport, my brother and I. And as soon as I could afford to buy one of these lovely 911s behind us, I bought one. And the rest is history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5114 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/N2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1460\" height=\"2190\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Who is Friends Green?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Luke:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0We are a Porsche specialist and we only do water-cooled cars, we don&#8217;t do air-cooled cars &#8211; that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re renowned for; I&#8217;d say 90, 95% of what we do is work on 996 and 997s, we&#8217;re also starting to see some 991s as they get older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We do sales as well as operate a workshop &#8211; I started out as just sales seven years ago, and then three years ago this was built, and we&#8217;ve now got the internal in-house workshop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We&#8217;ve got two technicians at the moment. We&#8217;re about to take on another one. So we&#8217;ll have three Porsche technicians &#8211; we work on other people&#8217;s cars as well as our own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">[This building] is still under construction at the moment, but it&#8217;s going to be our showroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So all sales cars in this building here, I&#8217;ve obviously brought out the ones that are most colourful and eye-catching. We sell loads and loads of these [Porsche 996 Carrera 4Ss] and we do lots of work on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The only 991 we&#8217;ve got in at the moment is this particular car in guards red.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Every 996, 997 that we get in we have to spend two or three days prepping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Obviously, we get the parts from you guys, as you know, and we&#8217;ll go into that later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC02175.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1194\" height=\"1792\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>How long have you been using Design911?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Luke:<\/strong> So the Friends Green Porsche Design911 relationship goes back, well, right back to when we started the business.<\/p>\n<p>So seven, eight years ago in 2015, I started off using you guys before I had the workshop, actually, and I was using a third-party workshop.<\/p>\n<p>They were charging more for parts than what I could get from you guys. And then, of course, we&#8217;ve got the workshop and we&#8217;re getting more and more parts from you guys &#8211; the service is always very good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why do you use Design911?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Luke:<\/strong> The reason why we get bits from Design911 is you sell a lot of parts that are from manufacturers that are used on Porsches from factory.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, we like to get bits from you guys that are OEM original equipment because we know it&#8217;s a good quality park, and we know it&#8217;s going to fit right and our customers know it&#8217;s going to be a good quality part.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to buy a lesser quality part, because there are some lesser quality aftermarket bits out there, one, it makes Ollie&#8217;s and the guys in the workshop job harder because bits don&#8217;t fit very nicely, the tolerances can be wrong and you have to manipulate bits to get them to fit in the car. So that costs us time in the workshop and therefore money. And also, again, like I said, a customer knows they&#8217;re getting a good quality product.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FGP-D911.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4000\" height=\"6000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So secondly, an important one when you&#8217;re in business, Design911 will never be beaten on price. So it saves us money and makes us more profitable. That&#8217;s an incredibly important point and one of the key reasons why we&#8217;ve continued to use the 911 for all these years.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, the customer service. I predominantly deal with Tony. He is the trade manager at Design911 &#8211; we get a very personal service. And also, as much as it pains me to say it, and he&#8217;ll be reminding me of this after this video, he does go above and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll call him up at 04:30 am flapping that this car has gone wrong and needs a component and the customer is picking up the next day and they&#8217;ll still get it out, usually on a pre-twelve for the next day. So you can&#8217;t get fairer than that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What kind of work do you do with these Porsches?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Luke:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0If I give you, for example, this 996 Carrera, it&#8217;s very common that they come in requiring suspension arms, all from you guys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We use CTE bits and pieces on the suspension exhaust, backboxes air conditioning, condensers, and all the common bits and pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So we do get a lot of repeat customers and then some customers are just new customers that come to us needing work doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So this car is a car we sold several years ago, well, I think it&#8217;s about five years ago now &#8211; it&#8217;s come back in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He&#8217;s done some modifications since he lowered the suspension. He lives a fair way away, but, he had it transported to us. It&#8217;s come down with he&#8217;s had a brake pipe burst, which we&#8217;ll take a look at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC02129.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4000\" height=\"6000\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Could we meet the rest of the team?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Luke:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0So in this part of the building is where we prep the sales cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But we do a thorough detailing to all our sales cars and to customers&#8217; cars if they want it as well. So that&#8217;s what goes on in here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We store them when they&#8217;re all polished up and looking lovely and shiny. But let&#8217;s go through to the workshop and see where the magic happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Right, here we are in the workshop. So this is, like I say, where the magic happens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I think the best thing to do is introduce you to Ollie, who&#8217;s our head technician here at Friends Green Porsche and he can kind of talk you through what goes on in here, what we do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ollie:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> So I&#8217;m Ollie, I&#8217;m the head technician here at Friends Green Porsche.

They tend to need quite a lot of work, so the cars tend to need about one to two, even three to four days sometimes spent on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This specific [Cayman S], for example, has had a complete suspension overhaul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>What parts are you using for this car right now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ollie:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> We&#8217;ve got the Bilstein B16 coilovers on here, new brakes, all new arms all over the car, which we get from Design911.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC02155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1179\" height=\"1769\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So this car is at as much as brake discs, as you know, Design911 supply these good ridge braided brake lines as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We&#8217;ve also had a Limited slip differential fitted to this car, so we go quite in-depth with the upgrades when they&#8217;re needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All the parts [from Design911], are very easy [to use] straight bolt-on parts &#8211; we never have any issues and they&#8217;re all really good quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So as well as like for like replacement parts such as this Bilstein PASM damper we&#8217;ve got here, which will be going on a 997 Carrera S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC02132-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What other parts do you use from Design911?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Luke:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Design911 also offers upgraded parts.
