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

Hi, I let my friend borrow my car and it came back with a damaged front lip. I was wondering the best place to get a new one from at a reasonable cost. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Here http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/996J/POR_996J_BDYext_pg5.htm#item23 Or you can buy a new one from Porsche. My 930 one was from Pelican and is as good as the factory one. Perfect fit. Good luck.

POST 3Original post

The part number for a 996 Turbo front lip is 996 505 355 00 01C which I don't see listed on that page, although Pelican can supply it. Or you could buy from an Aussie-based independent. Erm, me! I can get the part (lead time approx 1 week), plus a day or two to courier it from Sydney to Brisbane. PM or call me if you want more info, SAS. As for the friend, I can't give any advice there other than to comment that if she's wrecking your car, she'd better be hot as! James
