Noticed this morning through the window that our TAycan was damaged. On inspection I cannot find any marks on the paintwork or plastics ( including the under tray and inside wheel arches). So no impact marks or scrape marks etc. I am stumped as it was used yesterday afternoon to go to shops, no parking issues, no curbs etc. I have tried to just pop back in but with so many locating lugs I would need many pairs of hands and a fair bit of pushing and twisting, so will take to POrsche tomorrow. Any ideas welcome, my only thought was could someone of tried to remove the bumper?

Maybe they wanted your headlight.

Looks like the bumper was removed previously and not re-fitted correctly is my guess.

Bumper removal is necessary when doing a full wheel / chassis alignment to disconnect both radiators (yes it is a faff) and also requires camera recalibration. Could also be due to prior damage repair. Check with your dealer the history of the car unless you are the sole owner as there should be a record of all such work.

2 weeks ago it went back to Porsche for a replacement heater but I don‘t believe they need to remove bumper, but worth a check. Thanks for reply WINGE

Maybe someone hit it, and buffed off any evidence (or there was none due to PPF)
