Design911 supply replacement parts for the world\u2019s finest car \u2013 the Porsche 911, and other members of the Porsche motoring family. Of course, there are other companies who will do much the same thing. So, what\u2019s the advantage of using D911? Simple, really.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Data tells us there are more than 5,000 motor parts suppliers in the UK<\/a>, with \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 the largest concentration in London, with a full 9% of motor factor companies in the capital. That gives the lucky Porsche owner more than 500 options to replace the widget, sprocket, or non-specific thingy he or she needs to get their motor runnin\u2019. So, why make us your first point of contact?<\/p>\n

\"Design<\/p>\n

Design911: Home of Porsche (and premium) parts.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you love Porsches as much as we do, you treat every customer\u2019s car like we do our own. That means no compromising on quality. If it\u2019s not good enough for Porsche, we won\u2019t use it. Our unofficial strapline of \u2018every part for every Porsche\u2019 isn\u2019t precise enough: \u2018only perfect parts for every Porsche\u2019 is closer to the mark. Check out any parts page on our site. It couldn\u2019t be clearer.<\/p>\n

At Design911, we have a rule. It\u2019s Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as first choice, and an aftermarket option as the \u2018next best\u2019. In short, if we can offer like-for-like, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do. If we can\u2019t, we\u2019ll look for the next-best and make sure it\u2019s a copy, not a compromise.<\/p>\n

\"Daryl,<\/p>\n

Plan B.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

But maybe the OEM isn\u2019t out there. The 911 is nearly 60 years old and there are more than 2,000 parts in every single one. So, there will always be gaps in the catalogue. Running a Porsche \u2013 or indeed any car \u2013 isn\u2019t cheap and sometimes even with our discounts the part\u2019s beyond the customer\u2019s budget, then we\u2019ll suggest a quality replacement that\u2019s as good as the OEM. No Porsche? No problem. We list all the household OEM brands including Bilstein, Mann, Brembo, Textar, Bosch, Mahle and many more.<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/p>\n

Check out our site. Enter your part number and each page lists each option, from all our trusted brands \u2013 essentially, every choice for your replacement component. Whether you get an OEM, or a high-quality alternative, you\u2019re good to go. No compromise components, guaranteed.<\/p>\n

\"1000+<\/p>\n

Plan C.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Design911 is a hotbed of professional Porsche expertise<\/a>. It may be that the failure of an OEM is a great opportunity to tweak your car\u2019s performance. If that\u2019s the case, we may identify the potential for an upgrade beyond the Porsche catalogue. That level of engagement is just one benefit of speaking to an expert rather than trawling the web armed only with a part number. If you don\u2019t ask, you\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

Insurance assurance.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Replacing the original component may involve an insurance claim and some policies are very specific about the acceptable grade of that part. Again, this isn\u2019t something you want to discover after the event. When you know, you know. You know?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not sure, then speaking to an expert is a great way of backfilling your expertise. It can save you money, improve \u2013 or at least support \u2013 the performance of your Porsche, save any refused insurance claims and, most importantly, you\u2019ll know that you haven\u2019t made any compromises that Ferdinand Porsche himself wouldn\u2019t have approved. If you\u2019re stalking the Internet with a part number or planning to let another workshop handle your pride and joy, give us a call first<\/a>. We don\u2019t compromise. Neither should you.<\/p>\n
