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

Aside from the headlights and bumper covers, what was changed on the front for 2002? Are the fenders actually different and will 02 headlights fit in 99-01 fenders? Will Boxster fenders, either pre or post 2002 accept Mk2 996 headlights? Thanks! PS: I am looking for a MK2 bumper cover (prefer Guards Red) and headlights...

POST 2Original post

Bumpers are a bit differents. Backside of the bumper , MK2 has a frame behind the air scoops. Mk1 not.

POST 3Original post

I have 996.2 Turbo headlights for sale.

POST 4Original post

I'm not positive but my understanding is the fenders are also a bit different. Had my C4S and Boxster parked next to each other this weekend and the shapes do seem a tad different. Make sure to double check before dropping cash on lamps and a bumper cover.

POST 5Original post

Not really a good angle to capture differences, but maybe it's useful.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The fenders are different. The headlight trays are as well. I am looking to buy a right fender and a left tray.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Also need the air inlet grille PN 996-505-561-02-01C 02-04 Tip. The manual one might work as well.
