Basically if any aluminum body work is bent you can't (or Porsche won't) unbend it ... So you have to replace the parts in question which usually means cutting, welding and painting if external...

I'm starting to wonder if porsche's definition of fixed will differ from my insurance's definition...

I used Eli's Auto Body for front bumper replacement on Carrera several years ago. New bumper cover was installed, but clear coat had drips when I picked it up. After sanding drips match never looked a 100%. C+ job in my opinion.

Thanks for the intel.. Eli's is closest to me and I was considering them. Not any longer...

Just throwing this out there, any Certified Porsche Collision shop will not repair a panel of the car. They will literally cut the entire panel off and replace it with a new one. I don't know about you guys, but I can't fathom the idea of CUTTING my car. I'd much rather have a little bit of fiberglass filler than cut panels and after market welds.

1. There was property damage of more than $750 or
2. Anyone was injured (no matter how minor) or
3. Anyone was killed.
I think this is easily qualifies for (1) but thankfully not 2 or 3!

Wow I once had a cop talk me out of a report here in SC for damage caused by someone else because of the database and insurance reasons. Turned out it was just wheel damage so he saved me.
