When I take "reactine" for allergies, I've got to stay away from the Porsche.

I took it out from the garage to the driveway, and got out for a moment
to get something from the van. The car rolled over and hit the neighbour's
car. I have to pay for his damage too.

I feel utterly stupid, for forgetting to put the parking break and in gear,
like I always do.

Any recommendations of body shops in the GTA?
Also should I just paint or replace (size and shape of a football)?

Also 2, does anyone know how to disassemble a rear bumper?

Ouch, that sucks

Shops can do great repairs on plastic bumper covers so I would check with them first before looking to replace.

I have used Prochilo Bros. in the east end and they do great work - Frank there owns a 993. They do a lot of repairs to p-cars. When I was there in the spring Frank was showing me a Cayenne they were repairing to the tune of about $25,000 .... that was less than a month after they had just repaired it for a similar amount ... owner was a woman

Others have suggested Collision Networks (Jane and 407). They refinished wheels for me and did a great job.

I'm sure others will chime in.

Call Mike from Michelangelos (416) 964-5600. He can boil the bumper in most cases to pop the dent out. The bumper's material has memory. He's reasonable as well.

Thanks guys.
I just found G&A Bumper here in Mississauga, that repairs bumpers for most dealers around here.

The quote is 260 (repaired with utherane, not body filler). I have to get it painted somewhere else.

The problem is, I must take the bumper out- they do not do it there.

I have had some crazy quotes from 850 to 3200!

Soo, does anyone know how to disassemble a rear bumper, pics or a pdf?
I did a search, but could not find it for a C4S.

Like I said, call Michelangelos and he'll remove, pop the dent out and paint for a reasonable price. Definitely less than a thousand...

pictures???
I have not removed a bumper cover on a 996 but it should be easy enough. look on 996 forum and search. screws should be visible from underneath.
what was the other car.
+1 collision networks

Try Gibson Vander

My bumper seems to remember the dent really well.
I will give Mike a call, thanks.

I did a search and could not find how to on a C4S.

My mechanic today said I should not really attempt to do it myself;
he said there were quite a few screws and the bumperettes too.
The other car was a Honda Civic (driver's door only opens a few inches;
he has to get in through the passenger side)

try for a turbo, isn't the bumper the same?

+1 for these guys... go visit them with your car and see what they say

^^^^ That they will just pull it out... and Repaint the Bumper with some Filling...

Turbodan

ouch, how much is a new bumper cover? maybe worth it. I feel your pain

Porsche wants around 2300.00 + tax for a new bumper cover.
