Thumbs down Bad News!!!! :( Early N/A BUMPER Guys!

Well I am really really sorry for getting all your hopes up about that EARLY N/A front end. It seems like it can not be had anywhere! I Harrased poor Weissach for abit to the conclusion it can not be tracked down.
Again I am really sorry guys, I feel like **** getting you hopes up.
I tried to source from other areas no go.

I would like to thank Stuart at Weissach for trying to find this frontend aswell.

The only thing I can offer is this picture for you to show your local porsche dealer to see if he can track one down for you. I guess this is kind of a tease posting this pic again.

Bummer... That would have nicely covered up the curb rash on my front spoiler.

Oh well, thanks for trying!

It really is a nice upgrade because it straightens out the bottom of the bumper cover just ahead of the wheels. It gives a nice clean straight line as opposed to the flexed bent stock edge.

No big deal, I will just have to make one this winter....But if you come up with atleast one, sell it someone who has the capabilities, tools, and time to make copies, Although I would make some small changes to the original.I also have called Porsche direct to track one down, and they said they would get back to me this week!

Bummer, but understandable. Although I'd really like to see that car in person so I can get a real feel for what it looks like...

Huh? What do you mean "What are you doing with those tools?" Are you implying that I would remove that lip?!? I'm offended!

Hey! Lemme go!! OUCH!!! That hurt!



(sorry... it's early and I haven't finished my coffee yet...)

If you're talking about the lip spoiler, one of the UK aftermarket suppliers sells those for NA cars. They're on Karl Glynn's list (www.weissach.net). They will need to split the spoiler in the middle (into two pieces) for shipping.
