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.

One of the nicest styling principles of the 986 and 996 was the low profile front end reminiscent of air cooled Porsches. Minimizing the frontal area while still allowing plenty of air to the rads was key, transitioning from the 993 look
Today styling for all new cars seems to feature as large a grill as possible. The worst cases are Lexus where they look like a Marshall amplifier sitting on a snow plow. God awful in my opinion.
This example looks like the original bumper may actually be underneath the tacked on unit. Not to my taste but to each his own.
China is one of the fastest growing luxury car markets these days and for the Chinese there is no such thing as too big a grill. So all the luxury makers are amping up their grills for all markets across the world. The BMW kidneys keep getting bigger. They are now so large they have a thermostat controlled blockers to close of the slats in the kidneys in cooler weather.
No way. Go look again, and have a photo of one with an original bumper next to ya. No way this is fitted OVER a bumper. Nor does it appear to stick out much farther than the original, except near the bottom / splitter area.
