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.

A weird theft took place as some p***lock stole the rim from my 987 S's front bumper central vent and dislocated the black plastic vent dish as well. Photos show the car with the rim and vent dish in place and the subsequent rim-less and vent-less-bumper. Rims seem to cost c£135 from Design911 but fitting the vent plastic back in place could entail bumper removal.
Any advice on sourcing a replacement rim and fitting the vent dish and rim would be appreciated.

I have this part from a 997 bumper.
I will check the part number for you.
If it's a match then I will happily post it out to you.
Yes please!! That would be helpful if it's a match.

sorry to hear that - why would anybody want to steal that
Indeed. It is most peculiar. Yet I can't see why it would drop off when the car was in motion or in an impact. So I'm assumimg it was a theft. Maybe that's a mistake. Butthe darn thing is missing and needs replacing.
Hi @Chris944
I hope you don't mind but I have been reading your posts with great interest as I now own your 2005 Boxster S.
We purchased the car with some front damage which has now been fully repaired. May I ask how the damage occurred? It looked quite bad but only required a replacement bumper and headlight.
I must say thanks for keeping the car maintained to such a great level. It really has been a joy to own so far.
Please excuse the rather pretentious number plate, I couldn't resist adding it to the car!
