Original for Porsche

Original parts for Porsche models from Design911. “Original” parts are chosen when Porsche owners want to keep the car as close to factory specification and feel as possible. Real-world reasons include maintaining value and originality, ensuring predictable fitment, and avoiding changes to ride, noise, or drivability.

A Quick Look at Original

Original information on this page is based on details supplied by the manufacturer or distributor, plus any OE references provided with the parts.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Original is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons people choose Original parts include keeping the car close to factory specification, maintaining originality and value, and having predictable fitment and behaviour.
• Common age-related issues include rubber perishing, leaks, corrosion, rattles, reduced damping, and intermittent electrical faults that may only be picked up at service or MOT.
• Consider replacing components in pairs or complete sets (for example dampers or arms) to keep handling and wear characteristics even across the axle.
• When refreshing key parts, it is often worth replacing supporting items such as mounts, bushes and seals at the same time to get the full benefit.

Browse by Category

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.

Chassis / Bodywork — Chassis and bodywork parts are replaced to repair accident damage, correct corrosion, or modify the shell for performance and restoration work while keeping the structure safe and straight. Common problems include rust in sills, jacking points and arches, cracked or bent chassis rails after impacts, and poorly repaired previous accident damage causing misaligned panels.

Restoration Chassis / Repair Panels — Restoration and repair panels are used to cut out rusted or damaged sections and weld in fresh metal, preserving original Porsches rather than replacing complete shells. Original panels often suffer from deep corrosion, previous patch repairs, and distortion from jacking or accident damage, leading to MOT failures or poor panel gaps.

Rear Section — Rear-section panels are needed where the back of the chassis or body has suffered accident damage, corrosion around suspension mounts, or modifications that need to be reversed. Typical issues include rust around rear crossmembers, suspension pickup points, exhaust hangers and bumper mounts, as well as distortion after rear-end impacts.

Wings Rear & Parts — Rear wings and quarters are changed to repair rust, accident damage or to convert to different body widths or styles. Common defects include corrosion around arches and window frames, dents, filler-heavy previous repairs and distorted panel lines.

Exterior Styling / Spoilers — Owners change exterior styling parts to update the look, improve aerodynamics, replace damaged trim, or match a specific Porsche style such as OEM or motorsport-inspired. Practical issues include poor panel gaps, cracked mounting points, faded or peeling finishes, rattles at speed, and water ingress if seals or gaskets are missing.
