Community question pattern: Cayenne bumper and push-bar discussions often show parking sensors giving false alerts when sensor angle or bracket depth changes after front-end work.
Buyer Question
A Cayenne 958 buyer wants a body kit or bumper change and asks why parking sensors may false alert afterward.
Independent Compatibility Answer
The sensor face needs the correct angle, depth and clear field. A body kit can be visually correct but still create false alerts if sensor brackets are not placed like OEM.

Sensor face angled too high/low; bracket sits too deep; paint on sensor face too thick; false alerts ignored.
Regional Context
For Europe, confirm EUR landed cost, E-mark or inspection expectations where relevant, VAT/import handling, workshop documentation, and serviceability after installation.
