Default Help someone hit The S2!

Chase72 (andrew) and I were working on his S2 yesterday and ha noticed that while he was away on a business trip for a week someone hit his car!!!
Does anyone have a used non dented nose panel for him? Please P.M. Me or CHASE72 with the asking price. Paint is not an issue. We will paint it.

Thanks to all!

take panel off and I bet you can fix that panel if the paint has not flaked.. Just get a body hammer

Ouch -- sorry to hear it... Something like that happened to my nose last year, too -- and also to a local 'lister's 968. Seems something that happens too frequently these days...

The dents are pretty sharp dents. Not worth fixing, Looks like a reciever hitch hit it. We wish they could have been popped out. The front bumper if okay, a little polishing compound did the job.

Yup, It is a handicapped spot in front of him in a private garage. He should be able to narrow it down.......

That sucks... my E420's rear bumper has mysteriously developed all sorts of scrapes, scratches, etc. - I guess all from parking on the streeet in between SUVs

anyways, haven't seen another 944 in Boston. Maybe I'll see more when the weather's nice

Hey Guys: thanks for your support. Many thanks to Kevin (944_S_TYPE) for his help. Yeah, I am still working with the parking lot security to figure out who did it... the parking spot across from mine was a handicap spot, but people cheat and park in it from time to time... the nerve!

It sucks, but hopefully we can find a solution here on Rennlist. Let me or Kevin know if you have a used S2 nose panel or can find a cheap fiberglass fabrication alternative. Thanks again!

Hard to tell from the pic.. but it cant be hammer/ dollied back out? It may be worth a shot expecially if you can'y fine a suitable replacement right away.
too creased for dentless I presume as well.

SUV for sure. I had to park behind one today, I was nervous the whole time I was away. I wish there was some flag I could leave on the front that sticks up about four feet.
