Default 75 miles and bang

No not that kind of bang, the kind where some douchbag dropped a large metal object in the road you hit and broke some plastic on your car.

Its the corner piece on the sill right next to the rear wheel.

Does anyone know what this is called and where I might get a good used one?

thanks

Depending on the year of your car:

02 and above http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=801-80

up to 01 http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=801-75

You can see for yourself the parts you'd need.

It's an inexpensive part to buy new (about $50), and very easy to replace. I think three screws, maybe 4. It's called a "Side Panel Trim." Pelican sells 'em.

Default Thanks

Feel a bit better now knowing the part isn't that expensive and easy to swap, could have been worse.

thanks everyone

What year and what side do you need?

I have one in storage as a seller sent me a MK1 instead of a MK2 once and shipping wasn't worth the return.

Actually good to note that the MK1 and MK2 are different. Its indeed held on by a few bolts and easily accessible with the bumper cover off.
