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 there! Fist of all a big "hello" from my side as a newby. Coming from the "old continent" -living in Switzerland, being German (home of our favourite toy ;-) - I have a question: The Us Boxster versions are equiped with these two bumper-pads beside the plates. Can you tell me where I can get them and how much they cost ? Markus

POST 2Original post

These can not simply be added to the bumper. The pads bolt to an aliminum brace that is welded onto the bumper under the bumper cover.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, thanks for the answer. I thought that they were "sticked" to the bumpers....

POST 5Original post

In the US I think they call these things "bumperettes." Ein komisches Wort.

POST 6Original post

I wish I could get rid of my bumperettes!!! I really like the Euro version without them, but would need to change out the entire rear bumper to make the change. Too bad we cant somehow just swap bumpers! Mine is Silver...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We always want what we don't have... ;-) My car is black. BTW: Is there a section where members can post pics of their cars ? "Gruezi" from Switzerland ! Markus MJ: Good German !

POST 8Original post

Hi Markus, I am from Germany too, born in Munich. You can post pictures in the Show and Tell section of the forums here. We'd love to see your car. I kind of like the bumperettes on the Boxster. I did not really notice how that is on Boxsters in Europe when I was there several months ago. Your picture will be a welcome addition to the gallery. Ciao. EDIT: Took a shot of this Boxster in Germany, now I remember what the bumperetteless ones look like. Sorry about the blurry image.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi MJ, here a pic of my 98 Boxster with German plates... changing to Swiss ones tomorrow...

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the Info for posting images. I'll upload some tomorrow when I have my new plates. BTW: I'm born in Kassel (120miles north of Frankfurt). Cu tomorrow !

POST 12Original post

Excellent shot of the rear end on your Boxster. Love these cars in black too, would have been my other choice but the used one I bought happened to be AS.

POST 13Original post

Nice looking car markus. I am not sure if I have a preference to bumperettes or not -- I like them both!!!!
