One of the active air blades on the lower intake section of my wife’s Macan 4 electric is cracked. Has anyone changed one of those blades? What would the part number be for replacement & any idea how easy it would be to replace? They look like they just snap into place

I damaged mine a while back. There’s a thread where I reported a bird strike at motorway speeds. Porsche replaced the whole unit. It was 200GBP. The whole repair was 2000GBP. This is because the front had to come off and all the cameras and sensors have to be realigned. 7 hours at OPC prices ?

It doesn’t look too bad. Maybe a DIY project? Considering the cost of replacing it, I would probably fix it myself. I would have to do some research, but it may require some filling material (epoxy resin?) followed by sanding and painting. It should look like new and not lose any function.

Yes if you did fill it out and it did not look great you can get a PPF installer to wrap them in vinyl or color PPF

I know it hurts, but it's probably more worth fixing at all
