sorry about your car man.

you guys need a manual car... none of that P D N and whatever else they put on automatic cars

funny, my dad drove his car into our house, he said he was staring at my car hahaha. whole right side of his car is messed up, and he took out the gate that was attached to the side of the house that we later took off alltogether.

I once pulled up to a gas pump (not in the Boxster), opened the door and realized I was a little too far forward, so I put it in reverse and realized quickly, in a battle between an open door and a 4 inch, cement filled, steel pole... the pole wins every time!

HI, WOW small dent in bumper and big hole in cement wall, I knew these cars were made solid but this is incredible.

Good luck on the repair

Ok here is what happened. I know I will get the ****************ty driver of the month award for this, but well, **************** happens.

I drive it into the garage. I am very tired. It is about 1:00am.

I *think* it is in park while I am putting up the top and the windows.

I take my foot off the break and it starts to roll forward.

I go to step on the break hard before it hits the wall.

I am wearing sandals and it slips off, and I hit both the break and the gas at the same time. I obviously step on the gas more than the break.

Car, zoom zoom, makes nice engine noise as it accelerates, and SMASH, into the wall.

I swear...a lot.......and then swear some more.....and then say things like NO!!!!!! $&$(@ NO!!!! @#!@#! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! @#$&%^!!!

I get out to discover the wall is completely smashed where the impact was. Front bumper is bent, but overall it is not that bad.

Regardless, I am pissed. This car cost $100,000 where I live.

Photos coming!

So again, does anyone know how to remove the bumper?

Well that sucks, atleast its only the bumper and not the fenders hood and headlights.

I never driven into anything but if the people who drive into my car told me how it happened, it would go something like this...

~~I totally had alot of MGD's that nite, anyway i trying to park my F150 infront of some douche bags porch and i totally jacked up his bumper with my tow-hitch like 5 times in a row before i noticed i was hitting it. I broke the **************** outta there!~~

~~I was getting out of my H2 Hummer at the movies and i parked next to a porsche since i think my H2 is on the same level as that Porsche, Since i dont give a **************** about anyone elses property, I Opened my door and dented the **************** outta his car, Not my fault since the parking spaces are too small for my big H2 hummer even though there was a painted sign that says "Compact Only". Maybe next time ill stop watching "Finding Nemo" on the TV screens i had installed on my visors and watch where i park.... Aw **************** that, Finding Nemo is a good movie!~~~

The attachment shows part of the "bumper" section in the 987 PET. It will at least identify the parts involved and how they go together. If you think it might be helpful, I can email the full PET pdf (it's about 5MB) to an email address so you can see the rest of the parts listing.

Thanks! That is probably all I will need. My real concern is where the airbag sensor is. If I accidentally ejected the airbags while removing the bumper it would go from suck to double-suck.
