Given an earlier post there's dealers that are scanning underbodys on new cars coming from Germany - I'm not sure how many dealers are getting the UVeye system, but man, I think that's gonna show up a lot

Glad you got off lightly - whilst it's been a shitshow for me I'm glad it's given awareness to everyone that's read this thread. Clearly this plate isn't as strong as some people think

Impressive

To address the proverbial elephant in the room and it's something I don't think I've specifically called out as to why my car wasn't totalled with the original estimate - and as much as this is through gritted teeth Tom Wood do have a positive part to play. So when my damage was 'inspected'...

Ignoring the second home that is my dealer (Tom Wood) - love what you've done and do love the darker tones. I can't but help that if you had the tear drops how amazing they would've looked in blue too - just a thought

Now that I'd debate given the costs quoted in this thread on things like Kia's - I would definitely be healthily cynical (yeh right) in this regard

Sorry to bump an old thread - looking at getting this done but installers seem thin on the ground in Indy - is Rick local to Cinci? (it's not too far for me)

Better the devil you know?

EV Boxter - look how low that's sitting too, what could possibly go wrong ??

Definitely will - good reference point for everyone

So the update I got today is that, parts permitting, the car should be done early next week - I'm not holding my breath lol

Yes, it's unfortunate as I do love the way it drives. Brings a smile to my face everytime

Different scenario same consequence - it's a collision just an 'at fault' one technically. So as long as you have that coverage you should be covered

Once I have the car back I am absolutely going to do that

I've been reflecting on this whole situation and some of the comments posted in this thread. I have to admit to Tom Wood not covering themselves in glory through this I still keep coming back to Porsche and their blanket policy: So to summarize here: Anything above 3mm is an inspection and...

Now this is funny

It's an exchange part so Porsche get the old one

The interesting thing here is that if the plate was strong enough then this wouldn't or shouldn't be a concern. Checking the car doesn't get a dink from shipping is pretty shocking!! I'd be interested to hear if they've ever had that happen

Picked up my loaner a little while ago and did get an update from the service rep. The HV tray should be with the dealer mid to late next week. So I'm expecting it to be done in a couple of weeks, based on scheduling in around already planned work etc. etc. So at least the battery came in nice...

Summed up perfectly right there!!
