Suspected cause
Honestly so long you seal up the raw metal, it's probably the better idea.
Leading evidence: 'better idea' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'better idea' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair car' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm sure any decent body shop can sort it out, get it fixed correctly.
Hi Guys,
Whilst my wife and I were having heated words in the car yesterday I lost concentration and scrapped my car over a curb in the car park!
it dented and scratched the sill at the bottom of the car.
This part is metal so I�m guessing its spot welded in place. is it easier to just cover it with a GT3 aero sill cover or get it repaired
Thanks all
Jack
nothing in life that is worth a **** is easy
bailing on the wife is not an option - till death do you part....so figure out how to live with your commitment, jump in both feet for the long haul - there are no reasons to have arguments after you get that sorted out in your head
and post pics of the car before we get into a heated argument here
and dont blame the wife (you steered the car......the driver is always the one in control)
(not saying you are having issues, and not saying you are mad at her for your driving over a curb - just saying)
It was totally my fault and nothing to do with the wife, long day / sick child / late for an appointment, life’s usual obstacles.
I was travelling at about 3mph at the time but just didn’t see the elongated curb in the car park!
Yes pics will be a massive help, I’ll put them on as soon as I get back from work.
Thanks Guys
Jack
looks worse than it probably is. I would have a body shop that specializes in Porsche cars look at it and give you an idea of what it would take to repair
(the car)
My car had similar damage to the rocker - they'll weld sticks to the spots to pull it out and then smooth it out. The one problem is, thought, that you'll have to have the entire quarter panel painted.
That damage is common and any good shop can fix it with spot welding studs and pulling out most of the dent. They might even be able to blend the area in and not paint the entire quarter panel. You want to keep the new paint area go a minimum. Over time the new paint will age differently than the rest and it will eventually start to show
Thanks for your replies.
Is it lazy of me to leave it and cover them up with some gt3 side sills as I was planning on putting an aero kit on at some point?
this is why I posted all that jibberish
and I dint think the OP really cares about what I think about life, pickles or easter bunnies.....
I said it in response to this post - as in "someone suggested a divorce" that isnt how I roll - at all....it's not an option
you however have an option not to read my posts if you think I am being Dr Phil too much - I can also show you to the "ignore" button and nothing I write will appear on your computer
sorry OP - I meant nothing more than a counter point to the suggestion I quoted here and wasnt even talking to you but rather to the person who wrote it - rather as a joke or in some seriousness (I assume it was tongue and cheek)
xoxoxox
If you were thinking about new rocker panels anyway, then why not cover the damage as long as it isn't raw metal, then you may want to protect it from rust.
Can you show me how to do this? j/k
Without your colorful wisdom and comments, this would be a boring site. I have Renntech for all the technical no-bs posts.
LOL -
I swear I never mean to offend or be too judgemental - it's just filler and keeps some threads active while the OP's are looking for answers - I do talk a tad too much.........and type even more
