Modern Parts for Classic Porsches
We combine our passion for classic Porsches and state-of the-art technology to bring rare and no-longer-available parts back to life. We also produce a range of modern upgrades, always aiming at improving the experience of owning and driving one of these classics.
As any classic car restorer knows, many of the parts in the sixties and seventies were made from Bakelite or hard plastics which became brittle over time. These parts may be fully functional in situ but once removed, as part of repairs or a restoration, they often break. In many cases these items are no longer available or modern replacements are not of a high quality. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and modern, durable materials, it's possible to reproduce these parts to the same or higher standard than the original. Having examined countless broken parts over the years we understand their weaknesses and, where possible, improve upon the original design to make our version even more durable.
Part upgrades and useability improvements
Sometimes a small change makes a big difference. Porsche's original 4, 6 and 14 pin connectors (as well as aftermarket and new OEM replacements) have quite large tolerances. For instance, both the female and male pins fit very loose inside the plastic enclosures. The cap doesn't fit tightly and rattles when shaken. The plastic itself may or may not be heat resistant. None of this has any effect on the operation of the car and nobody will ever hear a loose piece of plastic rattle in the engine compartment. Observable or not, this type of thing bothers us. So we redesigned these parts with near zero tolerances and we manufacture them from durable, heat resistant material. It turns out that some of the biggest names in the Porsche industry share our sentiments. They use Wiesner Classic components to ensure that things fit together perfectly, every time.

On the useability front, we've noticed that nobody smokes in their classic car any more but everyone charges their phone (which in many cases acts as the satellite navigation system). Visit any classic car meet and you'll see a bewildering variety of USB chargers or all shapes and sizes dangling from the cigarette lighters of these cars. In the case of Porsche, these chargers are literally dangling because Porsche used a slightly larger diameter cigarette lighter than other marques. This means that no phone charger fits tightly in a classic Porsche. We've solved this problem with a range of USB chargers that perfectly fit any classic Porsche and, when not in use, have caps that resemble the original cigarette lighter of that particular model.
Bringing NLA parts back to life
Having owned, restored, modified or raced almost every type of air-cooled Porsche over the years, we understand the frustration of sourcing no-longer-available parts. Equally frustrating is having to find good used parts or deal with sub-standard aftermarket replacements. Using modern technology, including additive manufacturing, we started out making parts for ourselves. This quickly grew to the point where we now serve a growing community of Porsche enthusiasts and professionals globally.​​​
Porsche inspired wall art
We believe that a classic Porsche doesn't only belong in the garage but also in the study, office, boardroom... That's why we created our super-detailed wall art range, based on real Porsche engines and other components such as wheels and steering wheels. What you see here is just a sample of our ever-growing range.
Every piece is derived from a high-definition 3d scan of a real part, often consisting of dozens of miniscule little components which are faithfully recreated in 1:4 or 1:8 scale and meticulously assembled by hand.
