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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I been looking at the sheetmetal on my 2000 Porsche 911 C2 and besides for the actual headlight unit and bumper cover it looks like all the other "major" sheetmetals are the same. Has anyone done this conversion before and know if there are things I'm missing? I am assuming that the headlights are just plug and play, and all I will need is a new bumper cover, 2 new 02+ headlights, and I'm ready to go. Thanks!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You mean the right and left sheetmetal that go over the front wheels? Really? I thought they are the same as the 02-04 fenders...

POST 4Original post

no they are not...do a search...this has been discussed many times.... You'll need fenders, fender liners, headlights, headlight retainers, bumper, bumper retainer, and i think thats it...its a great upgrade, i'd go for it. yes a fender is the piece of sheet metal that goes over the front wheels... you may want to leave it to the pros if you don't know what a fender is...no offense, some people are just not car savvy.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I know what a fender is. I was just in shock because I thought the fenders were identical, and looked identical to my friend's 02 C2. Damn, sounds like this weekend project just got a lot bigger than I wanted it to. Thanks for all of your input and help though. Nice to be able to learn about this before I start taking things apart and buying parts.

POST 7Original post

You will also need wiring harnesses for the new headlights. new ones wont plug into the old wiring harnesses.

POST 8Original post

its called an '02 face lift" when you research it on the net. Check junkyards and Porsche dismantlers.
