weird dents

I've had my car since end of last october and i've cleaned and waxed it a couple of times - the last time i did i noticed small dents under the sills under the doors - one near each of the jacking points front and rear. It's the same on the other side. I've never noticed them before, and they don't look like stone chips/impact and they are pretty much parallel on both side. It's not been on any ramps or jacked up as far as i'm aware - just wondered if anyone else had noticed anything similar or any ideas what could have caused them? I suppose i'll have a hard job proving that they were there from day one!!

Haha - I've never even noticed them. Though this thread reminds me of a fella on the Boxster forum who asked why his 2-disc changer in the glovebox never worked. Possibly because on Boxsters theres a couple of old fashioned CD-storage slots in the glovebox. The guy got so upset by the mickey taking he threatened to leave the forum...

haha nah im sure there have been questions that give yours a run for the money, i only take the mick if i search and find the answer easily

if i cant find it then i wouldnt expect someone else to. But yeah like Shaun says they are jack point markers hence the arrowish shape. In fact im going to start a thread to see what the worst question has been ...

I have read where a car owner took his car to the garage to have them look at a problem where every time they went round a corner there was a loud bang from the back of the car, turned out to be a bowling ball (iirc ) loose in the boot !!

Actually I thought those dents were where I was catching the sill with my stiletto heels. But don't tell the wife

You can see the markers really clearly on this photo from VW's Scirocco Marketing.
