Body repairs by means of reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional repairs.

The use of high-strength steels for the body has an effect on body repairs. For this reason, only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work.
