    Coupe Rocker panel replacement

    Hi guys.

    I've got a nice size dent on my right side rocker panel. It's bad enough I'd like to replace the thing. Has anyone done this before? Can I buy the part new by Audi? Cost to cut and replace?

    Thanks
    Cheers mis amigos,
    _Anton

    Forgive the ignorance Anton, but what's a rocker panel?

        Yes exactly! It is the lower sill on the body of the Coupe. Local dealer give me the NLA finger. I feel embarrassed but I squeezed the side of the sill against an unusually large curb at my bank enough so I have to replace it. Thanks Fish glad to know it's attainable. I'll post up a pic to show the hack job

          Yes it can be pulled out by a half decent shop....

          my friend did something even worse than you. He jacked the car up using the trunk jack that came with the car. Needless to say the thing went fubar and just about pushed the sill into a flat piece of metal. Body shop buddy I know pulled it out and you can't even tell where it was....even in strong light.
