Hello. Recently I noticed around the bottom skirt of my 944, if you go to about the middle of the door, and go all the way down, there is a diamond shaped dent. One on each side, same spot, middle of the car at the bottom. I never noticed this, until after my car was serviced for transmission work. However, the shape is perfectly diamond, and there are no scratches around the dents. (might take pictures if I am stumping people).
I thought the place I had it serviced used a weird lift, and could have damanged it, but once I took a look at their lifts, there seems no chance in that, but the mechanic thought it was his fault, and refered me to a body shop, where they said it was manufactured like that, probably during production to hang on a rack. (mass production)
Anyone know if this is true? Or have these dent marks, which I never noticed, even though I hand wash the car??? Oh well..
btw, its a 1986 944 NA

Oh, if the mechanic that you took your car to did not know that those diamonds were factory, then I would start worrying about the quaility of work on your car.

Hmm.. heh That is funny how the mechanic didn't know what they were. Funny however that I never noticed them either. And funny how he thought they could have done it to my car, and was willing to have it fixed at a body shop. lol
Anyhow, thanks for the info!!
