Hi everybody I'm back and by no means scared off 
The response to this thread has been truly overwhelming and I had no idea of exactly what the response was going to be like.
I had to go and see my contact at the breaker the other day to pick up a 996 GT2 gearbox which I shall not go into at the moment and at the same time purchased '8' 951/2/ S2 rear bumpers from them.
I’m not kidding when I say that I’ve had nearly 200 interested people wanting a euro rear bumper and this amount is simply just not feasible in specific colors etc … But do not despair …
Both myself and Beni are now in direct negotiations with Porsche to help fulfill this order and we are now trying to provide brand new OEM rear bumpers for all you US guys (sorry did I miss out Canada who I have 60 people wanting the same).
We have exchanged various emails and had several telephone conversations with our direct contacts at Porsche regarding this issue and it appears that they have all the stock we require and have identified that this is stock that they would love to clear as they would not sell it otherwise.
So for the time being can I please ask for everybody’s patience whilst we pursue this matter and negotiate price.
This route will both work out the cheapest and easiest to ship/distribute etc so if we all colectively pull this off then we can all pat ourselves on the back knowing that we have all pulled of what must be the largest group buy known even to Alien
For the last week both myself and Beni have been working extremely hard developing our new website which is now due for launch this Monday so we will send you the link then … It is now on a scale what we possibly couldn’t have ever Iimagined but we are sure that all the time and investment that we have both put in has been extremely worth while.
So until Monday I’ll be back shortly.
Best regards, Mark (Future)

Porsche would probably pay me to take a 924 bumper off their hands. Gee, I wonder if they have any Guards Red ones? 
But seriously Mark, all your effort is greatly appreciated over here.

The last list I saw I was not on it. I would like a euro rear bumper with mounting hardware for a 951 in Stone grey metalic. Please don't forget me. Thanks
