SPAT CAPITAL

Good morning guys,

Regrettably having to make this post. Had an 18 wheeler push a cone out into the middle of the road and was not able to avoid it otherwise the whole car would have been totaled.

The damage wasn't anything major other than the front bumper. It cracked the lip and took a good chunk out of the front.

Does anyone know where I can source a white GT3 Front Bumper 2016? I'm also fairly new here so please go easy on me haha.

That's not too bad but sorry to hear it. Many years ago I was on the highway in my Explorer and a semi about 50 yards ahead and on the right lost a brake drum and bounced right into my truck. Luckily, it crashed into the bumper before it could travel up and crash through my windshield as it was bouncing on the highway. I was able to flag him down and get highway patrol on the phone. When we all went back to where the drum landed, I just remember how massive it was and surprised how it came off his truck in one piece. I've never been one to follow too closely but since then, I've been even more cautious to get close, especially behind a semi.

Years ago I was driving at night and pulling a trailer in a Ford Expedition that had air suspension. Changing lanes at the wrong time I immediately saw an entire 18 wheeler tire in the center of the road that was unavoidable. It wrecked havoc on the bottom of the Expedition, including taking out the wiring on the air suspension and the front end immediately dropped down. I had to drive that way for another 150 miles to get home.

Most recently in my 911 a car in front of me kicked up a piece of angle iron around 2 feet or so long. I heard it hit the front of the car and make terrible noise as I drove over it. Had visions of it taking out the radiator or worse. I pulled over and was lucky as it only damaged the replaceable front spoiler lip and banged up the bottom of the car.

These things happen. Try not to worry about it too much.

The bumper covers for the GT3's are ridiculously expensive. The 2016 is much cheaper than the 2018 by at least $2000. 2014-2017 Porsche 911 Bumper Cover 991-505-411-93 | Gaudin Porsche Parts

After that it will need to be painted. Then you need to check that the front spoiler metal plate that attaches to the bumper cover is not bent, otherwise that will also need to be replaced. Chances that some of the other parts (see the illustration in the link) will need to be changed as well.
