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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

would someone be able 2 post a closeup pic of how their bumpers fit on the sides and on the hood area, i'm having some problems lining things up and all the local guys seem to have soso fitment at best.

POST 2Original post

Quotes source post: 5175920

This is mine which is Porsche Tequipment original. If you go with aftermarket, you could have issues.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

you wouln't happen 2 have a closeup of the hood/bumper meeting point would you? i have an OEM, but i think it is off a cupcar because it has the slot for the tow hook. it is polyeurethane tho

POST 4Original post

what issues are you having? make sure that the **** with the holes on the top of the bumper goes underneath the meeting points on the trunk deck... and push it in real hard till you can put the screws in to hold it in place.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i'm going to take it appart and have another look at it. i think the problem may lie with the hood rather than the bumper itself (and those stupid plastic trims and covers that are all over and under the car)

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

also, it appears to be a supercup front bumper.

POST 7Original post

That wouldn't be giving you problems. Is the part you bought a genuine Porsche part or aftermarket?

POST 8Original post

One thing to bear in mind is that you will have to shimmy the bumper position until you get it lined up evenly on either side of the hood. I had a helper in installing mine and it finally came down to a lot of pressure and pushing to get even alignment on each side of the hood. I'm not convinced that the dealer would have been so diligent if I'd had them do the install.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 5176963

the user who sold it to me represented it as OEM and it is polyeurethan so i don't hav ea reason to doubt it. it fits flawlessly on one side and is very close to a perfect fit on the other side. my hood definitly will need some adjustment since i had the hinges adjusted first for a cf hood, then for a stock hood with my gt3 bumper. I don't really want to spend the time to do it myself, how much do you think a good bodyshop would charge just for the fitting and stuff?

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i double checked the bumper and it is indeed an oem porsche supercup bumper (has the PN on the bumper and the triangle with the P inside it). i've gotten the bumper to fit properly on both sides, and now need 2 fix the gap between the hood and bumper. any advice?

POST 12Original post

Your front looks pretty good and I don't think mine is much better... Here is a picture of my front bumper.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

believe me, your car is much better. my hood and bumper practically touch at the center and get wider towards the edges. my car had such nice fitment when it was stock..if only i could go back in time :')

POST 14Original post

I had mine off last summer, putting it back on was a tighten, loosen, tighten, loosen push-tighten, job. Took awhile to do but got it to work.

POST 15Original post

Excuse the dirty car on the previous post. I think if you loosen the screws on the outside and push in to the car and retighten, you'll loose that pull that is making the bumper come close to the hood. That's my thought on it. The trouble I had was that there was too much gap and I had to work the screws located in the trunk area to push the bumper in.
