Hi there
As some of you will know, I had a blow out on the A500, which Porsche assistance very quickly recovered, but unfortunately the recovery truck winched my car on a little too far causing some extremely minor damage/dint. Infact hardly noticable, but I knew it was there as such I complained. They admittedly liability pretty much straight away and the service provided by all involved has been nothing but excellent!
So the last couple of weeks I've had a Scirroco GTS 2.0Tsi DSG, not bad actually 210PS, plenty of go, loads of grip, but pretty dull to drive, but a good car.
It took a week to get repairs signed off on my car as this very minor damage came back at just under £5000 to repair from the Porsche/Ferrari/Bentley approved bodyshop, at which point the insurance company dealing with the claim insisted they send out their own engineer, a week later they gave the go ahead.
Its taken a long time to do, but I told the bodyshop no rush and that I wanted an absolutely perfect job and I requested they do a few other bits which they kindly obliged to doing.
Here are some before and after photos:-
Before Repair
After Repair
I was so amazed when I came to collect the car I never took any photos of it in their unit where it literally looked like it was a brand new car delivery. So unfortunately the car is now dirty and the Iphone is not the best camera.
Oh and the rear shot, the keen eyed will see what I've changed.
So in short, brand new front bumper and lower splitter, new side decals, new rear badge. Whole front-end resprayed, blended in and then polished and waxed to bring all the paint back to life. All stone chips around car touched up on the few there were.
