Hey guys, I have noticed a slight depression in the rear guard just behind and below the raer of the drip rail. It would make sense for it to be there from the stamping process, but I just wanted to check if it is normal. Depression is on both sides, and on my sacrificial shell, but not on a mates car. Ive circled the area where the depression is on the photo.

I'd repair it if it makes it look better, no point in leaving something that the factory couldn't get right.

Thing is, it doesn't look bad at all. I just couldn't remember it being there on my LC.

When you know that they should be there & they're filled in ect, it looks stupid i reckon. Like it's had a smack in the side & it's full of bog.

Thanks guys, they'll be staying for sure. Everything logical said they should be there because of the stamping, but given I've fixed or replaced pretty much every panel on the thing, and I'm so used to seeing damage I just needed to confirm in my own mind that I was right
