It is still "just a car" and a regular production car. Maybe if it was a GT2RS and had under a 1,000 miles and was a pristine show car it might make a difference. Any car that is used as a car, like Porsche designed it to be used will acquire "patina" of rock chips, and wear and tear from use. To paint the front of a car and eliminate that patina and surface damage of the bumper cover is just no big deal. Assuming there is no underlying structural damage at all, for forget it.

If the seat or dash was damaged and recovered with the same quality leather would that affect the value? No, I don't think it would. How about the windshield, or one of the headlights? Replacement will not affect the value either.
