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.

Can anyone shed light on this question. My 2002 has them, but they are not listed as an option. Seems like some 996.2s have them, some don't.
Was it random? Where they factory, aftermarket?
I know some people have sanded and painted the textured versions. At some point were the black rubber versions switched over to a smoother surface? Is there a hard plastic cap on the painted versions? Mine seems like that, rather than painted rubber.
Confusion. Somebody knows something.
My 99 had the rubberized version that bolted on. The 02+ appear to have tabs on them that are melted to the rear bumper and were painted hard plastic.
Are there unpainted 02+?
I don't have the definitive answer, but my 04TT came with black rubber and I painted them myself. It's about two hours of effort over a two day period.
I think the 997 models all came with painted. I don't think I've ever seen a 997 with black rubber bumperettes.
No sir, the narrow body face lift bumper is not made for unpainted bumprettes, the actual bumper behind the cover for all U.S. cars is the same through all MK2 narrow body cars (C4/C4 cab, C2/C2 cab, GT3, 40th AE) and thus not interchangeable with the unpainted style. Facelift narrowbody = painted. As a note, calling them painted is slightly misleading, it's a design change. The later style is a cover that is attached to the bumper cover, whereas the MK1 cars (and the widebody cars) have bumprettes that are seperate pieces that bolt onto the actual bumper
through
the bumper cover.
