thank christ we dont have any gemballa porsches in at my work at the mo
last one was a cayenne and took months to try an get a rear bumper while this was all kickin off
thank god we ordered parts on a company credit card, got our cash back and sourced bits from a uk company with their body panels in stock
will have to think twice now before we take another Gemball repair on now

yes the cayenne is a bucket
the cost of the conversion tho nearly made me fall off my chair, i remember the gemballa exhaust being stupidly expensive for em
