Scuffed the nose on my 997 turbo, not gouges
light scuffs on the plastic trim. Scrapes are lighter in color than the rest of the trim but not so deep that it looks mauled.
Anything I can do to help blend the color a little? Darken or conceal the marks?

Sorry to hear that. I have a GT3 front bumper and left the lip black since it's inevitable that I'll scratch it someday going into a steep driveway or hitting a big speed bump.

I used some Mother's Back to Black on it, and the scuffs blend a bit better. They don't disappear. I was told by the dealer that the plastic bit is removable easily and a new one can be snapped in place fairly easily for when the scuffs are unbearable. Just don't bother having this area painted in exterior colour. Just begging for heartache there.

That's why Porsche made the lip replaceable in the first place, and the reason I left it unpainted on my TT. You can just replace it when it get beaten up really bad.

It is much better than on my previous MB which had a painted front bumper and had a very low ground clearance. I parked randomly one day and scuffed the whole underside. Made me sick to think about it, until I remembered it was a lease. But now I park a good 3 feet from the curb in front which also allows better standing room when accessing the boot.
