Please note that removing the bumper which holds the parking sensors and front camera may affect the calibration of those sensors. This is according to the body shop and the service department.if its just the front lip you can get to it pretty easily from underneath; you will need to get to the upper clips portion and that will be the struggle. In the end, without a hoist, it might be just as easy to remove the bumper cover.
If you have to remove the bumper cover, that is a lot of work (wheels, fender liner, lights removed etc).
I can assure you it didn't (on mine). Just upgraded the nose cone. I would say that before the work to CYA myself if I were them though ?Please note that removing the bumper which holds the parking sensors and front camera may affect the calibration of those sensors.

Yes and when removing the front bumper...you do incur a recalibration that needs to be done when reconnecting the systems. $$$if its just the front lip you can get to it pretty easily from underneath; you will need to get to the upper clips portion and that will be the struggle.

Correct in that is recommended procedure from any body shop and Porsche. I had to have my 992 front bumper resprayed due to rock chip and parking lot scrap by someone's shoppin cart and it cost me an hour and half shop time to get it recalibrated at the dealer.

You may not have done it on your car but doesn't mean it isn't required. I asks the same and was told that the safety systems and cameras should be recalibrated with front bumper removal due to how many of these system are now mounted there vs previous models and when you remove the bumper even the best techs found that there was drift and errors that would occasionally and/or frequently occur without a recalibration. Given the amount of $$ spend on these cars no need to incur a bigger bill due to a system failure or being off just to save a small bit of coin and/or a denial by my insurance when the lack or re-calibration is found to be a contributing factor of some accident. Just my 2 cents.I can assure you it didn't (on mine). Just upgraded the nose cone. I would say that before the work to CYA myself if I were them though ?
Perhaps. Perhaps not though - I think it depends on what you have in the nose cone.Yes and when removing the front bumper...you do incur a recalibration that needs to be done when reconnecting the systems. $$$
