I don’t know if this will count... since it’s not MY 997 turbo... but I removed the Powertrain to repair a coolant leak by installing sharkwerks metal pipes and re-adhere and pin coolant pipes.
It is possible to remove and reinstall the bumper solo, just takes a bit of care and patience. Think I’ve had mine off 4-5 times now to remove debris. Even with grills (I installed some mesh 4ish years ago) you need to remove it to clear out small stones and the corpses of a 1000 insects.

Done it plenty of times. Some painters tape helps to prevent scratching the paint and you can use some buckets or a chair to set one side on.
It is doable and I did it the first time I took it off. But it makes it 4X easier and quicker when you have a helping hand aligning the bumper correctly.
Got the toe links, upper rear control arms all assembled and some strut mounts in from FCP Euro. Just waiting on some new front lower control arms to show up and ready to rock.
Deflated tires from 60 psi to recommended level. Removed fuel pump fuses and, over 15 minutes, cranked engine to get oil pressure up, reinserted fuses and started car. Ordered DSC controller. Installed phone cradle.
I am social distancing from my 911 Turbo S since there's nowhere to drive to for the most part. I can walk to Whole Foods and Giant supermarkets and most everything else is closed. It's like a zombie apocalypse where I live. No one is out driving and no one wants to be near one another. The picture below was right before coronavirus hit our area and we couldn't go out anymore. My new GF took this picture. She loves the car and riding in it. That's really refreshing as most women I've dated or married didn't like either of my 3 911's.
Well the last two days I did my transition over to the DRIVEN oils.
Sat. I Did an oil, filter, washer, and O-ring change over the BR40 "Flush" Break-in oil and drove the car for 20 miles.
Sun. I Did the 2nd oil, filter, washer, and O-ring change over to the DRIVEN DI40 oil.
I also tried to install my Cobb 3 Bar MAP sensors, but the one on the side of the engine is a complete PITA to get to. After fighting with it for a few hours, I wasn't able to install it due to the different shape of the Cobb Sensor and having ZERO slack on the harness. I had to put it all back together. Ordered the MAP sensor harness extension today and paid the next air shipping rates to get it here by 11am tmrw. morning. I'll give it another go tmrw. after lunch.

Nice to hear the GF enjoys cars, those are a rare find! Mine calls herself an "evolving enthusiast" and will chase away anyone that parks too close to the "babies" lol. Stay safe and hopefully you can enjoy being back on the roads soon.
Can you be more specific on what that does? Is this why my fuel nozzle always clicks off and I rage?
that’s exactly what this is for, to avoid the click and you can pump gas hands free. It’s an $8 plastic ring that goes around the filler neck. I used to rage as well until I came across a thread with the info. I posted the zip lock it came in so everyone that doesn’t know can get the part number. It takes literally a couple seconds to put on and saves a lifetime of rage at the pump lol.

AtotheJZA70 thank you for the part number. Filling up drives me nuts. People around you look at you weird when they see you flipping the fuel nozzle upside down LOL. I just ordered it from pelican parts along with few other basic maintenance items.

no problem! Glad I could help.
I changed the cabin filter, got my new tires mounted and washed it once I got back home. I’ll take some pictures in the morning.
