Looking at Macan GTS, is this a torn front bumper or not?
Looking at cars online, a lot tend to have this Z-shaped line on the grille where it touches the hood. Some don't that I can see. Is this from the front bumper tearing the vertical part of the grille down or is it supposed to be like that?
No it isn't, both my Macans have the exact same creasing. It is part of the aerodynamics of the car. Go look at leading edge of the front facia of your Macan, the creasing is there.
Yes, those are the creases I saw, but why are they all different heights? It almost looks like stress has pulled it wider. It should be fully painted on the inside of the crease if it was there from the factory.
OK, sorry guys; here are the corrective photos. Also, that kind of white-looking line you see in the crease are where the PPF ends. It is not a split or separation in the bumper cover.

Wrong location. Please post photos showing the junction of the side air inlets, where they meet the center “grille” air inlet.
Wrong bumper design. Matter of fact it’s different from mine as well. But then, mine’s a 18. The bumper imo is ripped. Can’t imagine how. Possibly stress.
