Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi,Im after some ideas for the front bumper on my C4S as I feel it looks pretty crap. I dont really want to change headlights,wings etc.Anyone know of any bumpers lying around that will fit?I currently have GT3 skirts and a GT3 challange spec rear spoiler, thanks Andy

POST 3Original post

I'm guessing it's not a C4S as these where only post face-lift, it's a C4. So your probably best to look out for a secondhand Mk1 GT3 bumper. A new plastic one from Porsche is about £1300 or new glassfibre replica from Porscheshop for about £430. You could of course go completely mad and put on one of the many aftermarket ones on like the one below from Fibrerwerks guaranteed to attract the ladies ;-)

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys,sorry to cofuse you its a C4 tiptronic S,hence the pre face lift. I have tried to find a Mk1 gt3 spoiler but dont want to spend too much as its a rally car and I know Ill stuff it into a bank soon enough. Bonus is then Ill upgrade the lot,kinda makes you want to crash to have a better looking car? thanks for your help

POST 6Original post

Oh I see... crash into a bank and you'll have access to loadsa money to upgrade... nice one ;-)
