I have noticed a dent in my rear passenger side quarter panel, it is like a car park next has opened the door and touched it and no more but it has popped in however no scratch or paint from another car,
is this a hard thing to have fixed or popped back into shape? also costly ? any info on the matter would be appreciated

Have a look on TLF -I think there is a thread about this, button sized dimple just behind the door? Something to do with the manufacturing process of the clam.....

Re: Dent in Evora quarter panel

They've all got a wee crease on the panel just behind the door.
Iirc Graeme rejected the first evora they got for having it.. Only to find they all do.

Re: Dent in Evora quarter panel
What are the Evora clams made from? Same as elises? Does it dent?... Though it would just crack.
Re: Dent in Evora quarter panel
Dom, It's not actually a dent more of a shading in the GRP. Its only visible in certain lights / angles and is a thumb print size 'pull' in the surface where it is was glued or held during manufacture.
