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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear friends: My beloved 2000 996 was involved in minor collission that happened at the Zone 1 Porsche Rally and Concours this weekend. The bumper, both lights and fender need to be replaced. I was thinking of upgrading to the 2003 headlights and Turbo bumper. Is this possible ? Easy ? any brackets od other mods necessary ? Thanks for any input.

POST 2Original post

its not particularily hard to do, especially if you were front ended. You will need the headlight trays, a new front bumper (duh), the headlights, the wiring harness, and some odd screws and 2 new fenders. there should be a complete list of parts up here somehwere

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Omar But the front fenders are not damaged. Do I still have to change them out to install the factory front bumper? Do I need to change the headlight trays as well to update to the 2002 look? What else ? Gregor

POST 4Original post

front fenders need 2 be changed..theyr'e different from pre and post 2002. wiring harness and headlight trays also differnt but arn't expensive as i recall. there's a couple of 16$ screws you need but i dont remember the part numbers. hopefully someone else will come along and post the list, but everything on the list will have 2 be done, there's no corners to cut here.

POST 5Original post

do a search there's a guy who did this a few weeks ago. and you can find a complete part list, labor hours. etc......

POST 6Original post

Take a look on ebay.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4358802&rd=1,1

POST 7Original post

it's a little too frankenstein for me to spend any additional monies on a "facelift" - i'd stick to what the car came with

POST 9Original post

If you are already replaving stuff and want the newer look, then go for it..I did...it all bolts up. No one can tell the difference....it gives the front a fresh look.....

POST 11Original post

Does anyone know where to find the list of whats needed for this Mod... I just bought a 1999 c2, and I am set on the 2002 look with the g2 vent in between the lights... Any help would be much appreciated... thanks
