Damaged lower part of the front bumper

[dutchcourage]

first damage to my car after 50K km.
My car was too low or the kerb was too high, result is a damaged plastic part of my front bumper.
Does anyone know if this is an easily replaceable part or should I replace the whole front bumper?

Easily replaceable, the part only cost a few hundred dollars.

I did this . Raised front to clear kerb. Next morning forgot and reversed off. Porsche wanted £600. Centre plastic £75, sprayed up £100 - easy to fit on a ramp 20 mins.

It really doesn't look too bad. This happened to me multiple times on my previous Porsche, a '13 Panamera GTS. My experience was that it will happen again and perhaps, again. My advice is to live with it and only replace/repair when you get closer to trading the car for a newer model.
My Taycan is 6 months old, and fortunately, its not yet happened. But, it will. Just my view of the situation. Do what makes you feel better about driving your terrific Taycan.

This is exactly how I see it. My 911 Club Coupe is essentially a 997 GT3 bodied Carrera S, and the front chin spoiler is very, very low. It also does not have the ability to lift the front end for driveways. This means that you will scrape it on certain driveways no matter how careful you are. It came from the factory with a painted chin spoiler, which I have removed to keep it nice and replace with a black plastic chin spoiler. I realized that nobody really notices when it is scraped or damaged from normal use. About once every 4 years, it gets damaged enough that I replace it and start over. Yours looks minor enough that I bet you stop noticing it soon.

I have a similar situation on my 23 GTS, except my wife dinged a curb much bigger and harder. My chin is scratched up pretty bad on the right side. That seems easy enough to replace but the plastic bit from the frame to the front is broken up where the belly pan screws to it. Can anyone verify that this part is pretty simple to replace as well. The part breakdowns call it the hood latch support which seems strange, but it looks the part. When you pull the front belly pan down for a peep it's pretty scary under there. Pretty impressive plumbing rats nest on the right side!!!
