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

I have a 2000 996 and I need to change the front bumper and one headlamp. The look of the 2002 and newer front is much nicer. Since I have to change anyway, will a post 2002 headlamp fit in the lamp insert and are the fenders on pre 2002 and post 2002 identical? I will assume that the 2002+ bumper would fit (if I change the lamps...).

POST 2Original post

search on "facelift." You need to change fenders, bumper cover, headlamps and various connectors and brackets. No small task but many do it -- and love the result.

POST 3Original post

there's a thread that has all the parts #.......

POST 4Original post

For what it's worth...I'm a new 2002 owner (although I haven't taken delivery yet) and I actually prefer the look of the Mark I cars. I went for the Mark II car not for the looks, but for the "improved" engine. I guess what I'm saying is, I wouldn't go to the new look myself. In fact, maybe I'm even saying that one day I might be considering a backdate

POST 5Original post

if you want, i would love to give you all my mark I for our mark II

POST 6Original post

Maybe one day....not just yet though. I was speaking hypothetically.

POST 7Original post

I purposely bought a Mk I because I like the more fluid lines (and the Turbo Twist rims)!
