Can't bring myself to post the image.

Any way she scraped the right front fender and right bumper and side marker.
It looked minor so we take it to a high-end body shop I have used many times in the past with very good results. This young Geico kid comes out to do his estimation and says it's $1400, I laughed out loud and indicated that he may need to look up some of the Porsche parts in his little computer. Well we are at 5k and counting as we take the parts off.

So here is the reason I am sharing this embarrassing turn of events. It seems the right side ac condenser was damaged and is being replaced. What do I need to know about recharging the AC? Also they pulled the battery what could happen? Radio, Codes?
Any direction or gotchas regarding the recharge of the AC?
Thanks.

PS. At least they are cleaning the rads out what a mess, for a 07 pcar with 33k miles that stays garaged it sure was dirty!
Thanks!
Radio codes are the least of your worries, sorry.
If it is a CDR23 or 24, you don't need as code
