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

Thanks to Bumperplugs.com, I got my freshly painted (looks to be 20 thick coats too) bumperettes this week, and just put them on today. Really brightens up the rear, and no more vinyl treatments! Expensive, but worth it I think!

Nah, I love the Carrera badge - it's what Porsche designers call the car - who am I to argue!?

POST 6Original post

Looks great Andy - bumperettes are on my list too, but most likely next year

POST 7Original post

What was involved in removing/installing the bumperettes? I have a loose one on my 2003 which I would like to tighten up.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 5422175

You only need a 6mm allen wrench, at least on the 99-01 cars. Not sure if the 2003 versions are part of the bumper?

POST 10Original post

Nice! That's the very first thing I did. It really updates the look. Congrats!

POST 11Original post

Quotes source post: 5422216

I have a 2000 C2 and I can see a large hole at the bottom of the bumperette, is that where the 6mm allen wrench is located? Looks like you don't need to remove the bumper right? Can you confirm, thanks a lot... Cheers,

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 5422445

NO! No need to remove the bumper. Get yourself a flashlight, and a mirror. The large hole is where you can look in and see the smaller allen nut that holds the bumperette to the metal bracket in the bumper. Simply loosen the allen bolt, lift the bumperette up from the bottom, and gently pull it away from the bumper. Done!

+1... makes a big diff!

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I'm happy with them! Hope nothing ever bumps into them though, now that they're painted, they are a little more delicate. Marc - We have to get together at some point to compare silver 996's!

POST 16Original post
