Default How to replace front chin spoiler

Hello Gents,

my front chin spoiler is pretty beat up. I want to replace it. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Somebody told me its two Phillips screws & a bunch of side L clips that hold it to the bumper?


Thanks Rich

one screw(mine are Torx, circled in red) at the back of the lip at the inner fender well, then just carefully pull the lip away from the bumper, tabs(circled, blue will release while you pull

Buy them on ebay for under $100 delivered. Bayson is the manufacturer. 5 minute install with two screws. leaving in sunlight on black drive will make it flexible enough to maneuver easily.

Thanks for the ebay info. I need to replace my front chin spoiler.
I also noticed that the part where the chin spoiler attaches to with the clip tabs ( blue in the picture) are broken. It doesn't look like it is part of the bumper. Does anyone have the porsche part # for the part?
