Building yourself up to spending a couple of days setting the venting clearance and the handbrake on the rear callipers?

Deep clean wash today of the 911 only to discover 6 deep stone chips on the nose and front valance.
Some careful filling to morrow, but as the paint job was only £1500 not too bad.
It would kill me if the £10K quote I had was used...

The trouble is that I do not know what they are supposed to look like but this was very dense and a bit slimy so it did not seem all that good to me. And a bit like the one Graham replaced it was from 2017ish.
The reason I am looking at it is that there is a slight misfire which is getting better as I get through the fuel but was quite pronounced to start with.
I have not yet driven with the new filter although I did start the engine and check for leaks.
Just for the sake of completeness I thought I ought to add that the misfire was still there but less pronounced after the fuel filter change but now I have run the fuel through and filled up with the super expensive Esso non ethanol fuel the occasional misfire is gone so it was a pretty simple fix that may be applicable to other people in these strange times.
