Narrative:

After receiving instructions to taxi, I pulled forward and checked the brakes. I then started a left turn toward the ramp. Checked right wingtip for clearance, then left wingtip, then right again. At that time, the left wingtip impacted the spinner of the aircraft to my immediate left. There was no apparent damage to the spinner, but there is a dent in the leading edge of the left wing of my aircraft. This was a rental and I immediately reported it to the FBO. I'm waiting to hear the damage results.
