- Body parts -17, 21- and -22- are welded together from plates of different material thicknesses and characteristics and are then deep drawn! See Fig 1 .
- Body parts -A-, -B- and -C- possess extremely high tensile strength and are therefore not hot-dip galvanized! See Fig 1 .
- Body parts -1 to 22- attain their final strength only after the production stage of cathodic immersion painting and drying!
- The special material properties have effects on body repair. For this reason, only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work!
