I think this was discussed awhile back but.......it's pretty easy to get minor depressions (not really 'dents') on the top of ea. rear fender. It's a tough spot to get at for paintless dent repair. I first tried from the rear tail light....also the intercooler duct.
What's the answer?
I had it up on the hoist w/rear wheels off........thought pulling the wheel well shoud would not be biggy.......shop quoted me over $400. just for disassemble-reassemble time (not counting my paintless dent guy)....this was for both sides.

Golly, is it that tought to get at this spot?.....I know the intercooler piece pretty well hugs the skin & that doesn't help. Any comments welcome.....TIA.

I think you can get to that by removal of the interior panels. Most of them just snap into place. Check it out in the shop manual first.

Thanks....sorry......meant to throw this over on 996TT......I'll see if I can pull it.

TT Gasman

I just remember when I did the tequipment roll bar on my 996, we had all the panels out. I think it may be do-able.

I had that same dent on my 996 c4s, they take out the inner wheelwell. On my 997TT, they accessed that spot via the air intake, worked great.

A walk by and hand slam, 2 seconds is all it takes .IMHO I think your crazy driving that car into the city, you see patients all day and your car sits as prey.Get a cheap GREEN dd and enjoy the p for evening and weekend fun/tracking.I shouldn't be so bold to say green since my dd is a STI, but get a dd for city use if your practice is in Manhattan.

GreggT

On the 996TT there's no way to get to it from here.

That would take all the fun out of it, just can't drive a ****box, work too damn hard. Besides the guys in my pvt garage take good care of me($$).

Ditto that Chris..........the 2 reasons I have.
1. Life's too damn short
2. I enjoy driving waaay too much.......priorities

Actually, all my ding on all my nice cars have all happened within a mile from my house, never had any damage driving in the city, 100k miles worth in p cars over 5 yrs.
WTH, I ain't saving it for the next dude!

I guess they were on a crack break when your porsche got slammed, throw them a few more bucks and they will smoke next to your car. Just f**king with you, but it gets under my skin when we work so hard for what we have and some piece of worthless sh*t tries to destroy it.

TT Surgeon

Like I said, my worst dings have been in the nicest places!

TT Gasman

Same here, more dings from the doctors parking lot than anywhere else.

lol, I have to agree.
