Depending on how frustrated you were by the guy with the tow truck 3 months ago, they may be able to make you whole on more than you expected. Never hurts to try.

LOL!


Guys guys, the damage was not something that I had to replace the whole top for. I mean yeah you are right I could have taken a brand new top and go through the whole process but it was more of psychological frustration and annoyance but their actions.

I will give them a call and see what I can do.

Its not cheap...but it's not the brightest of ideas......

you can get your top replaced because you had a reasonable problem...the tow truck guy scratched.

the only way you can get a new bumper is if the tow truck guy scratched it....

why in the world did you not take the new top....you should of set up a date when you were available. you obviously werent much concered with the scratches....

you're out of luck now...not even sure if they will replace the top now!

dj now thats a possible plan.....

if you porsche that you are getting it fixed at a shop, and tell the shop owner that in fact you want to fix the bumper....maybe they could swing something your way. this is if porsche lets you get it done at another shop. see if the shop owner will pull the scam......

im pretty sure they would, couse all the care about is the $.
but then again, once they get paperwork saying Porsche one it....i dunno.

but still, worth a shot if you ask me, but i would have gotten a new top to start with so that wouldnt be a problem
