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 1Original post

Hello I am trying to convert my front from 987.1 to 987.2 Mission maybe Possible from 987.1 to 987.2 The BUmper and the Fender are compatible just have to fix the cables for the head;light and Led . here are some tasting photos

POST 3Original post

you can buy them Brand new from the store or you can find them second at ebay i really like the new look. even the 981 do not like it much

POST 4Original post

So, I'm trying to do something similar...but a .2 Boxster Spider bumper on my 2006 .1 Cayman S . To make this work, I have to swap headlights ? Thank you and I'll be interested to see how this works for you.

POST 5Original post

Ciao, Yes you need to swap the headlights , did you have any puctures ?

POST 6Original post

I have not done this yet. I don't mind swapping headlights , but somewhere I read that the front fenders were also different and needed to be swapped as well. I read it on this forum, but it was people talking, not anyone who had done it. Have you actually made it work and finished this project. I'm trying to ensure it will fit with just a headlight switch before I buy a bumper from a 987.2 spider. Thank you, boxs!

POST 7Original post

Yes, YOu need to change the Fender , Heallights , Led Bumper , airduct you can see on my pictures the black fender is the new one .

POST 8Original post

Boxs: Thank you for the complete info. That's a whole lot more than I intended if the fenders need swapping. Now I'm thinking I may just get a used 981 bumper cover and have a good body shop cut it horizontally above the air intakes and graft it to my 987.1 bumper. Way easier! I like the large Carrera GT-ish intakes. I'm impressed with what you've done. Thanks again!

POST 9Original post

Just did a 987.1 to 987.2 front end conversion but noticed the headlight wiring was different. Do they need to be rewired or can they just be plugged in? Thanks

Hi and welcome to Planet-9. I see you've posted this basic question to two existing threads on Planet-9. Congrats and discovering those - they haven't been active in 5 and 10 years, and most of the people who participated haven't been on the site in several years, so it's unlikely they'll see your question. I'd suggest a better way to address your question is for you to start a new thread with your question. Try to make it detailed so people understand exactly what you're doing. Porsche offered several different types of headlights for the 987.1 / 987.2 so it's important that we know what headlights you're asking about. And welcome to Planet-9, the Friendly Porsche Forum for members seeking enlightenment.. when you have a chance, please visit the new member forum and tell us a bit about your car and what you're doing with it. You never know - you might just hear from someone who has done exactly what you're trying to do.
