That chip does not appear to be severe enough to require the rotor be replaced.

Porsche allows some edge chips. From an article on PCCBs from Total911"officially two x 10mm (and a maximum of three damaged areas per disc) is acceptable, although you might feel otherwise".

Total911 did a 3 part story on PCCBs in issues 48, 49, and 50. While the back issues are probably sold out you can buy the 1st 50 issues on a CD. Visit the Total911 website and follow the links.

I bought this a few weeks ago and it cost around $33 after the currency exchange (and a charge for same was applied by my credit card company (AMEX) was done along with shipping and handling.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Every wheel change I tell the shop the cost to replace chipped rotors. We then inspect before and after. Never had an issue at indi or Discount tire.

I have one small chip on each of my rears, essentially similar size as yours. No clue how/when it happened. Dealership looked at them and wasmt impressed, and didn't think any action was necessary.

I agree with GT3 Chuck....it's important to remember to use the wheel supports when removing the wheels as well as re-applying them

note that for the CL .2's, while Porsche provide the two threaded metal pegs, I dont think you can actually use them ...
