Have been given this very nice Panamera 4S loaner for the day - £100k’s worth of courtesy car! :shock:

Feels very much like my previous car. Much more luxury and a more ‘remote’ driving experience than my Carrera T, not surprisingly.

Downside is that we discovered a nasty scratch on my rear bumper (of my 911T) on handover this morning :cry:

The guys at the OPC said it looked deliberate and probably done with a knife or key. :(

There are some despicable low lifes around. :roll:

It's an occupational hazard of owning a nice car, unfortunately. A lot of jealous scrotes about!

Thanks, Nosmo.

Just to clarify, it didn’t happen at the OPC, but at some unknown location in the last few weeks and since I last washed the car.

Pretty annoying. I’ll be taking some photos & will post on here later for advice on how to get the damage rectified.

You might get away with a smart repair which shouldn't cost too much but if you go to a Porsche body shop it will be ££££! I've had a car keyed before and it's the utter futility of the scrote's actions which is so depressing.

Good luck getting it sorted

Thanks, VanB. I’ll be seeking the advice of my learned forum friends later and a smart repair did occur to me, as an option to taking the car to Dick Lovett Spraymaster in Swindon...
