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.

I'm sorry but the US "bumperettes" are not great... especially in the standard black plastic finish - I much prefer the naked ROW version!
Are there any other countries in the world that has them?
I deleted mine and they are just sitting on a shelf, so if anyone would like to add some more protection against
swift death blows
, you can have them. Maybe add them to the front? Perhaps a set for the doors? Maybe get several and make a helmet?
I can't imagine driving without big bumper pads- my safety is number one! I'm trying to find a way to put a few more around the sides and top. Can't be too safe.
The standard black bumperettes indeed are UGLY...I think it makes such a difference once they are painted to match. Since I have to keep them on, I might as well make them look good.
^^^^ That looks heaps better on the blue & black Boxsters ^^^^^
Not as good as ROW but not bad - you hardly notice them when painted body colour. The black bumperettes are similar to el-cheapo cars having "fits all" matt black door handles & external mirrors.
Why couldn't the mother ship do the colour coding at the factory??
Cost cutting SOBs in the front office...same as the IMSB problems to save a buck or two. Now you pay seventy thousand for a Box...I'll buy a lightly used MkI GT3 at these prices.
I can't believe there isn't just a snap on cover for these bumperettes. Why deal with removal and core return and all that biz...
hijack -- This will be my look in a few weeks (but with smoked tail lights). I've been sitting on this for over a year waiting to install...
I don't think my Fabspeed tips quiet line up dead center though, might be an issue..
I cant see how a couple of pieces of rubber are going to make any difference to crash protection on a modern car like the Boxster with crumple zones etc. European crash testing is very strict and are not seen as any benefit in ROW cars - just fitted to satisfy some US regulation and could perhaps make the car deform in an adverse way.
