If you can ask the previous owner if they had an aftermarket exhaust on before they sold it with the OEM ...

Bottom line I am not aware of a way to fix this unless a heat gun from inside might restore ...

Good luck

I recently bought mine and found a dent on the same spot. Please share if it can be fixed.

Before and after for my Lusso which has this known issue (as well as other Fcars)....I would always park the car so I didn't have to see it walking up because it annoyed me so much.....I bought water pipe insulation foam and stuffed it under the the front bumper to push it out.....I am not joking....A home depot fix on a Ferrari....it took taking some screws out but it was an easy job....not saying this will work here but looks like a similar situation....this was a fix posted by someone else on Fchat so can't take credit but it worked for me....

might be worth investing in some heat shielding wrap to line the bumper to avoid this happening ... as for repair clearly the bumper is thermoplastic ... a professional *might* be able to "pull it out" using a heat gun (on the interior) ... YMMV

After 40K miles most on track and living in South Florida my purple 991.1RS rear was just like that, kinda melted.
Its just from heat.
