That's odd. Has the bumper cover ever been repaired?

Dude that happened to my 964 turbo. Im not 100% sure but I think its a heat thing from the sun. It drove me absolutely nuts, had I kept the car I would have replaced the bumper for sure.

There appears to be a paint protection film on the car. Perhaps it's been expanding/shrinking in some way that's not in line with what the bumper has been doing.

I presume the bumper is seated correctly all around?

Not positive if it's seated correctly at this point...didn't move around or anything that I noticed...but didn't try too terribly hard to move it. Yes, definitely has clear bra.

I have seen this before on other 911 never have investigated as to why.

My thoughts are in the heat the Paint protection is heating at a different expansion rate as the bumper and causing the waves. Does it do this in non summer temps?

+1 for the clear bra as the cause.
