Where can you buy the clear bumperettes from? I would like to get them some place else other than e-bay.

 

Apex parts - a Rennlist sponsor and extremely helpful. See this thread:

Good luck and remember to post pics when done!

 

Thanks Howard I'll post some pics , but right now I'm trying to fix a cam cover leak.

 

So you already did it??

 

No, I need to order the bumperettes. But I'm stuck on the cam cover fix. I need to get the o=ring seals or whatever they are. I got the gasket but no seals. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the piece of tin off that buts up to the cam cover. Just my luck that the Porsche dealer parts department does not work on Saturdays.

 

Eeuuurgh...your a brave man!

I am always surprised parts isnt open on the weekend - I would have thought this was prime time to be open? The hardware store near me closes on Sundays and early on Saturdays - amazes me as those are the times I'm DIY'ing and am prepared to pay the premium prices on the spot because i'm in a pinch! LOL!

 

I bought mine from Schatzmotorsport.com in CA.
Very happy with parts and customer service. Nice improvement, especially on a dark colored car.

One note:
When you receive yours, the clear side markers will probably NOT be drilled to accept your existing side marker lights (only on US cars, hence they're not drilled for OEM install on Euro cars, as they have the lights on the front fender......but that's another story)

You merely need to CAREFULLY drill out the thin plastic, I did mine on a drill press with the plunge depth set so as not to ding the front plastic when you drill thru.
Learned this trick from someone who bought them for his US Cup car.

 

FYI, the above mentioned thread contains pictures of this and details from those (me included) who recently did this.

 

Hi, I would like to fit rubber bumperettes on my European 1993 C4.
Does anyone know how to do this and where I can buy them?

 

Assuming you are serious (probably unwise seeing as how this is your first post), there are probably a few folks who have 'upgraded' to lenses and would be happy to give you their old black bumperettes. I would send you mine, but I already parted with them to another Rennlister!

 

Hi Howard, and others.

Yes, I am serious. I thought fitting bumberettes would provide some protection from people "nudging" my car when squeezing their car into tight parking slots. (Unfortunately, a very common way of parking where I live)

 

I would happily send you mine Jens,if I still had them intact. I am sure someone else here must have their old bumperettes that they dont want kicking around the garage! However, I honestly can't see then offering much protection and personally think they are an eye sore!

 

Hi All,

I have both the old bumperettes and the new clear lense that I didn't even use, let me know if anyones interested.


Thanks
GP

 

Do you have the clear turn signal lenses or just the clear bumperette replacement? I recieved my bumperettes, but cant find any turn signal lenses ( clear ).

Hi all,

Sorry for my late reply. Just got back from work.

Many thanks for the advise, Howard. I suppose a pair of little rubber cubes do not offer much protection, but it's better than a sure scratch from someones bumper.

So, if anyone has a set of spare bumperettes around the garage, please let me know.
