991.2 Front Bumper Advice
Gotta love Cali cars.
Driver's side corner just above splitter
Long story short, having full frontal wrap on my 2017 991.2 and my guy has found some previous damage to front bumper. Also, I live in a state that does not require front plates so asked him to pull the plate holder and, viola, I don't have 2 holes. No, I have 6 holes in front bumper. So, following are my questions:
Front Plate
1. Put it back on with Porsche Emblem and get over it
2. Buy 6 bumper plugs
Scrape on bumper
1. Finish wrap job and move on knowing I won't be climbing underneath car to see it since I've had it for 3 months and didn't notice it before
2. Replace entire front bumper and paint to match then finish wrap job

If bumper #2, be careful about giving the paint time to cure before wrapping it.
Or consider option #3 for both. Have a body shop repair the holes and scrape, repaint, and enjoy the car with less paranoia about more chips in the front.

just got quote from body shop. Full removal, fill holes, repaint bumper & reintall $900. Easy decision to make at that price. Thanks for advice.

Dont pay big money to put bra over scratches and holes. Repaint it so its perfect then put bra on it. Done it several times.
Dry time for new paint is found in tech sheets for the paint. Some PPG I use is 24 hrs, full cure. Some others are 72 hrs. You have to read the sheets to find out. And it doesnt hurt anything to let it dry another week, etc but the manufacturer is the authority
