GT3 interior damage

[rallyeman]

Come back from holiday, take my bike out the back of the car and realised I've probably written the car off !
Is there an easy fix for bringing out the indent in the vinyl panel?

What's it doing with an interior anyway?!

I believe a wet towel and an iron can work well on that sort of dent, never tried it myself though.

Patina.

There's a crash coming anyway, so it'll be worth a fiver next week.

[mollytherocker]

Surely that is repaired during the 10k refresh will surely be due anyway....

This is probably similar....depending upon model year.

Doesn't really look that bad but why put a bike inside a 911?

Because the OP owns a 911 but wanted to transport his bike from A to B I'd guess (although a little more care was required)!

Is the panel, the same as cooking 997's or bespoke?

Oh yes, that'll be it!

Amazed one could get a full sized bike into the back of a GT3; but then I've never tried. Obviously doesn't have the CS seats?

What, a GT3 with no cage or bucket seats? Can't see it's worth repairing really, car's probably a write-off with that damage.

If the OP's profile is up to date it's a 996. I'd say it's the same panel for all narrow body 996's - but that's a guess.

I'd try a hairdryer on it - you must have a few to chose from if you own a GT3 with out a cage

And as Goose says, apply a little moisture with a damp cloth as you are warming it up. If that doesn't work off to the experts I would think.

Good luck.

Wanted to take my race bike on holiday with me. I usally rack it on the roof, but as I was travelling 3800 miles in 6 days I didn't want the mpg to be even worse than the 23mpg on average I was getting. Plus my SeaSucker has recommended top speed of 85 mph. Yes I've got leather fixed Recaros. The bike had the wheel off, and bike was in a bike bag. Bike was ok on way down to Spain, but I must stored it slightly different on way home. I know the car is now worthless

Usally use my SeaSucker

I'm impressed!
