Suggestion
My tactic has been to regularly check on gumtree, that's actually where I found my front bumper.
Leading evidence: 'Check on gumtree' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check on gumtree' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Hi all,
I'm looking at fitting a GT3 front bumper and side skirts to my C2. I'm fine with the side skirts but before ordering I wanted to check if the front bumper requires any other fixings, brackets etc?
Have any others here done this before?
I'll be fixing a mesh behind the bumper to stop leaves and general rubbish getting to the rads.
Thanks :thumbs:
It's all identical Sack-Meister. :thumb:
You may need to drill out rusted screws and replace them but all fixings are the same from aero to std. The Aero bumper is just deeper around the front.
The prices seem a little all over the place. One will turn up I'm sure....!
I saw a shocker on eBay, cracked, covered in gaffer tape, total mess yet still wanting £750! Crazy.
That smashed up one on eBay really is ambitious.
There is an allegedly genuine brand new one on eBay for about 1100 from Poland which sounds much better value if it's legit. They have a 996.1 and 996.2 versions.

Dammit - Not sure from OPC - I'm waiting for them to get back to me.
Cheapest I've seen so far is £1300 from Design 911 - original GT3 part. Most are kicking around the £1500 mark.
Are you thinking about it for your Cab?
Just had the cost back from OPC:
GT3 bumper - £1247 +VAT
It also required the black trim to sit behind - £117.98 + VAT
So circa £1638 inc VAT - A fair chunk for just the bumper before painting
Yeah it's still a fair whack. I'm on the hunt for a rear wing but they're expensive too. Over the last couple of years I've picked up the front bumper and skirts at reasonable prices but it's a bit of a slow waiting game for the parts to pop up.
My tactic has been to regularly check on gumtree, that's actually where I found my front bumper.
Is the only difference between the aero bumper and gt3 the section under the number plate? Solid on the aero but open on the gt3. If so, would an aero bumper and and cut the back of the centre section out not be a cheaper option?
I only ask as I have an aero and would consider cutting it for the full gt3 look. Should mention mines an early car
That section is open in order to feed an additional radiator, if you don't have one I'd not bother. If you fit one, remove the centre blanking bit of the bumper.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
