I would go physically see the car. I would also take photos and share them with someone familiar with bodywork and paint. You could always post pictures here and have us weigh in on the damage.

As long as it is a bumper all is good. especially if they are getting a new bumper vs repainting. this happens all the time at the port (and u are never told). the bumper always has a different texture than the rest of the car. it sucks but don't lose sleep over it.

It's just a bumper. They offered to get u a new one and they are honest about it. There are more important things in life to stress over...
With that said I would still demand them to clear-bra the whole car to make things right.

Good advice here. I would go the 'cool cucumber' route and get over it rather than risk losing the car. It's just the bumper and you should be able to get a clean carfax and I'm sure that many of us don't even have a clue about how our cars were roughed around or repaired before leaving port...
I personally wouldn't ask for a discount or anything for free, instead I'd ask to be placed high on the list for the next GT3/ RS/.2GT4 even though that could be a long time from now. Your SA likely has to deal with a lot of regular ***hole customers and playing it cool could land you in a sweet spot with that dealership for years to come. ...not garanteed but kharma will be on your side and you WILL get over it.

If you only knew what goes on behind the scenes... sorry to hear about this and the fact that you know may now bother you. But, Porsche has a body shop at the port where they "touch up" a lot of things and no one is the wiser. Honesty is always the best policy, but it would have been better to not have known.

Despite my earlier comments, this is sage advice. Hope it works out for the best!
