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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I have a cracked front bumper on my early 2001 C2 NB tiptronic S. An OEM bumper is 996.504.311.07 or I think GT3 mk1 996.505.980.03 G2 Is the GT3 bumper a straight swap? What would it look like without the GT3 skirts or GT3 back bumper? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Yep, it's a straight swap using all the same fixings and fixing points. How would it look without side skirts? Weird. :grin: Looks too front heavy. Just my opinion but you need to stay minimal standard spec, or go all in with bumper and skirts. Rear wing a little less essential but something is still needed really, whether it be ducktail, aerokit wing, etc. It's all personal though so don't let me put you off. :thumb:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Aha thanks for this. Don't think I'm ready to do the skirts and tail at the same time so probably will keep stock. Will see what they can do with the existing bumper. Looks like a previous paint job on this was done over existing wax at the side (!) so it will all need a strip down and repaint. I'm not sure when it gets cost effective to replace and paint vs repair and paint.

POST 4Original post

if its a used GT3.1 bumper I would be interested - I'm looking for a spare to have RS grills in one. Feel free to PM me.
