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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2001 996 turbo. I am hoping the front bumper stuff is the same as some of you with a C4 or C4S. What this plastic part is in the picture is broken and I need to replace it when I do the annual radiator cleaning. Anybody have one laying around or know where I could find one? Thanks! EDIT: I am not talking about the front lip... I think it is part #16 on this diagram? http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=105-15 P.S. I know ol' girl is a little dirty, its been raining every single damn weekend here as of late broke front air deflector thing.

EBay or yes even Walmart has them https://www.walmart.com/ip/Urethane-...ykit/100173874

Thats not what I am talking about. Look at picture and you'll see the broken piece behind the bumper.

POST 4Original post

The broke piece is in front of the radiators, I dont see how it could be part #1 in the diagram, thats in the wheel well is it not? Im guessing it is part #16 on this diagram? http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=105-15

POST 6Original post

I'd use fiberglass and epoxy on the back side. Maybe rivets and a piece of aluminum if you don't mind the rivet heads.

That definitely looks more like it! Good one...damn expensive part though for a piece of plastic. Maybe OP should check a dismantler or junk yard.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 14891177

Yeah, no way ima pay that much for it! Do you know where I can find one of these dismantlers? Thats a great idea.

POST 9Original post

I googled porsche dismantlers georgia and only came up with one - German Auto Dismantlers I also googled the part number and saw ECS Tuning had one for $483 (ouch!)

POST 10Original post

That's really strange that that piece would break like that - at least on my car, they're more like rubber than plastic (very flexible)...Specialized German Recycling on Ebay is really good and their prices are reasonable. There's also LA Dismantlers, but their site is terrible - you're better off calling them on the phone (I prefer the internet with photos...). Good luck - I'm sure you'll find it.

Agreed. maybe a rock hit it hauling *** down the interstate or something? it driving me nuts though and I need to find one that is not 350+ dollars. wish me luck.

POST 12Original post

Good luck. Usually in my neck of the woods it is "road gators" that take out your front end. One popped up from a semi and pickup I was following and took out the grille and passenger light (different car from the current 996). Maybe you'll find a rear ended car that's being parted out. Again, good luck.
