I leave work last night at 8, having moved my car to a "safe" spot.
Wife walks out the door this morning to leave for work... phones me fromn the driveway, "Who hit the Porsche?".
I walk to the driveway... rear driver quarter panel. Nice white swipe... fender above the tire caved in. Bumper cover can be reubbed out. Tail light may be cracked, I didn't closely inspect.
I carry only collision, so a repair will be out of pocket.
Questions: Could that repair include replacing the rear quarter panel? The challenge I see is that the quarter panel is married to the "strip" where one might otherwise install a rocker panel. Not having phoned any body shops... what might be the cost to remove/replace the panel (I assume welding would be in order)? Would it be less costly to have the dent pulled, etc.?
What would you do?
Thanks for the help. I hate a ****************ty looking car.
