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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hi, I'm looking at various options to replace a damaged front bumper on a 2007 Cayman Base 987.1 Although I'm leaning towards a Duraflex GT3 -RS bumper, for ease of getting the car back on the road ASAP, I have an opportunity to purchase the front bumper cover (complete with fog lights and grills) locally off of a 2012 Cayman Base 987.2 This could get the car on the road for a month while I wait for a Duraflex and have it prepped and painted. Question is...are these two bumpers interchangeable without having to change fenders or headlights etc? I've been seraching the forums and can't find an answer. Anyone know? Thanks Ron

POST 2Original post

The headlight shape changed on the 987.2 , and I believe that changed the shape of the bumper cover underneath them.

POST 3Original post

Thank you Caymancouver...that makes sense, but still looking for a definitive yes or no...I've heard it's been done...but wondering if anything had to be slightly modified to fit..

POST 4Original post

Th answer is a definite no. They may look the same in diagrams and Porsche dealership parts guys might say "I don't see why not" or "looks like it'll fit" (I called two dealers) but they are different. Both years share the same upper retaining strip. I put a 2007 beside a 2012 and the first measurement I made on the top "corner" of the bumper, above the side marker light showed a difference of over 2" between the two years. I didn't bother making any further measurements.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
