Hi there,

I am looking to purchase a Macan S model. I've been searching online and found one I like (2019 model). However, I spotted something that I wasn't sure is considered wear and tear or something I should be concerned about. See attached pic. Would appreciate any advise here.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the liner has not been put back correctly.

It is not a clear image buts that is my best guess.

The wheel arch liners have to be removed to gain access to the Pano Roof drains, a OPC rips off customers checking and clearing each or the four drains.

I'm struggling to make out exactly what I'm looking at, is that metal bent as if it's run over something that's got caught between wheel and arch?

Difficult to see from that picture but my guess would be not. If it had, it would have probably caused damage to the wing too unless it was a very minor thing that is ran over.
The bit that looks a little like bent metal could easily just be dirt and crap not cleaned off properly.

My 2p would be on Col's suggestion that the liner is incorrectly fitted
