My car is in the body shop for some paint work and it could benefit from a new front bumper. Does anyone have a source for a 993 NB front bumper? I'd take a turbo style too but they seem to command far more $.

thx.

Try and source a Euro bumper and ditch the bumperettes.

Are the fiberglass bumpers decent?

Getty Design is supposed to be an excellent aftermarket provider in terms of fit and finish. If you run it into a curb, though, well ... it's fiberglass.

What happened did the brakes fail? Or have you over enjoyed and have a nasty case of road rash?

If you go with the GRP turbo I will be very interested to see how it works out.

Car turned out not to be as nice as advertised by the dealer so I'm doing a full repaint. Bumper had some poorly repaired damage. Nothing structural and no signs of damage. But enough blemishes to give me heartburn.

looks like it is going to be beautiful afterwards.

Thanks. That's what I'm counting on. Thats so much better than hearing "you destroyed the authenticity etc etc"

It needed some corrosion repair at base on windshield between wiper posts. Then the bumper had blemishes and then it became a question of how to blend it. And it's a black car with some rock chips and chips on edges of doors. So now you see where it led.

It's a slippery slope looking for perfection, don't make it too perfect that you don't drive it

Ah it will get driven I just want the blemishes to come from me
