oh boy, what a berk ... me that is ...

[danww]

Just managed to run into the back of someone in my 993.

Not very fast, below 10 mph I'd say, but what a mess ... front pu, bonnet, both wings and bizarrely just one spotlight. Didn't even break the headlights, or the indicators.

I've had it a month :cry:

B'llocks, I'll bet.

Still its not eveyday, someone can say they were hit by a Porsche

Bad luck mate, soon be mended though eh!

[frankc]

Wiped out a deer at 50 mph in my 996 carrera 4S yesterday on the way to work.
Damage is into the £1000s and the deer aint insured
Only a car m8 and as long as your ok thats the main thing.
Cheers

Bad luck, I'm sure she'll mend very nicely. At least no one was hurt.

[danww]

very true.

Pride somewhat bruised, however.

Dan, gutted! Still, you could always replace with a 2S/4S/tt front PU eh?

Cheers VS. There's a thought ... need to check some pics to see exactly the differences.

I was wondering about fitting the combined spotlight/brake cooling vent thingies.

Still, the fix will eradicate all the old stone chips too.

Funnily enough that was what I thought too ... (as I was desperately searching for a positive spin)

I've had several ...

Still astonished at how much damage it did. I guess partly because the guys rear bumper was so high it rode over my front bumper and hit the wings.

Ah, bad luck Dan but as has been said, nobody's hurt...

It'll be better than new in time but watch out for the alternative PUs. I can't believe how low the front C4S PU is on my car. I'm not sure if the Aerokit II option has made it worse but it's very low. I'm not likely to scrape anything where I drive but it's a consideration depending on your environment...

Alex, get a front protection bar - saved my front PU on all 3 of my 993's on numerous occasions!

Bad luck mate.

Still, assuming insurance is all OK, I'm sure that the brake-vent spots, carbon bonnet and RS front splitters, along with the removal of all stone chips, may be in order??

Make sure you get someone proper to do the repairs though!

Cheers Pete - FPB ordered. I had a pending order with Gert anyway, so that was good timing!

Good idea. So where can I get a carbon bonnet for a 993? Any idea of the price?
