Problem solved. A friend smashed my under bumper lips against a speed bump.
So I have appointment to have them replaced at my dealer on 29.03. (price in Italy will be, including VAT 180usd each (to be discounted)
Since I'd like to reduce the fancy amount of time they will charge me, on another forum I understood that they stay in place only with double tape.
Can anybody confirm that to me so that I can try to take off upfront the existing one?
In that case I'd try to remove the existing ones, so that they can just install them. Even if it's an easy job, I need to have that done by them
With the invoice hopefully then I'll be able to post the part numbers that I was not able to find around.
They are 55 usd at Sunset Porsche Parts. I just did these on my 987.1. They were stupid easy to install and not fancy. You can drill out the alum plastic rivets they are installed with...3 each side if memory serves. From the PET diagrams the 987.2 look to be mounted also with plastic rivets. Tap them in the front bumper and tap the new rivets in with a leather or soft face hammer. Whole process took about 20 mins for both lips. Had to jack the front to get the drill to the rivets.
Thanks @shus2006croc
I am not so sure that the spyder ones are the same of the standard 987.1 and 987.2. Which ones have you installed?
i tried to look on the PET and on the service manual but I was not able to uniquely identify the ones for the spyder.

If you look at the diagram... #6 is standard ones... which are way cheaper and #31 is the Spyder versions.
Anything that is specific only to the Spyder is crazy $'s... where anything shared with other models are way cheaper. It's due to volume and hitting minimums through suppliers. The price we pay for something special.

Definitely true.
On the other hand, I need to be honest, until now I never regretted it, despite the additional purchase costs and the potential higher maintenance/repair costs. It does not have only a special look (that was the reason why I bought it in the beginning) but it really is special, 360 degrees.
ps @n4v4nod let me abuse of your kindness. By chance, you who are the master of fitting instructions, do you have the ones of the front splitters as well?

They are held on by adhesive tape and two post that insert into the bumper:
So...
Finally I got the splitters replaced.
Of course nothing is easy as it seems.
On my car probably there were already repaired and they used black silicone sealant to fix it.
Because of this it tooks a few hours to have it replaced and to clean at least the "double tape fixing area".
In the bottom the screws (four on each side) are not real screws but kind of no head push fix fasteners (obviously I do not know the english word for them )
If nobody messed it up before (welcome to my lucky case) it's a less than 1h job that can be done in the garage, I think.

Mine were a bit of a headache as well, in that I realized I needed new push-pins. Ordered a kit then it was really easy.
Just bought these at my dealer.
