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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I've got a 996.1 c2 which has aero side skirts and standard front bumper. I prefer the aero look and was thinking about aero front bumper but they seem hard to come by and also quite pricey when they do pop up. Is there any alternative splitters you can get for the mark 1 as I feel car needs more depth at front due to depth of sideskirts. Any advice much appreciated Jonathan

POST 2Original post

There are a few companies that used to (maybe still do?) produce poly lip kits to give the aerokit look - you are left with a clear addition to the front bumper, but then this will also be true of the side skirts which are mounted onto the main body.... Otherwise its largely the real thing either secondhand or new (~£1500?). A 996.1 GT3 cup version chin spoiler can be fixed to the bottom of a standard 996.1 bumper to give the impression of a bit more depth....

POST 3Original post

You have Gt3tek front lip or your going Clubautosport replica bumpers. Only real alternative is genuine. Mucho bueno.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the tips guys, I've had a wee search and have found the lip extension and the full bumper. Lip extension is coming in at £262 and the full bumper £360. I think I'm swayed more towards the full bumper at the price difference. Anyone fitted these parts and got any comments re fit especially full aero replica bumper?

POST 5Original post

Mines got the aero front bumper and with lowering springs is a pain in the arse to drive as a daily it catches all over the show They look good but on our crappy roads can be a pain in my opinion

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah practicality! That's a good point, my car has m030 suspension aswell, I had to do a 3 point turn yesterday on a single track farm road due to flooding and I did think normal front bumper gives required clearance!
