Sunset Porsche sells them for $1,227.41, plus shipping; Part No. 993-505-311-02. I nearly picked one up a couple months ago when they were offering free shipping. Without free shipping it would cost $200 to ship to So Cal.

They do come up used now and then. A Rennlister in San Diego just sold one for $400.

Thanks chuck! Usually worth it to pay for oem just because of fitment. Keeping my eye out for any that pop up too

I got mine from Pelican Parts. They sell a complete kit to do a Euro Bumper conversion.

Both the Porsche OE and the aftermarket Pelican are made by the same folks, I think it is TechArt - identical. It seems they make a limited run of them each year and by late in the year they run out and Pelican gets back-ordered.

Check in with Gert at Carnewal as well. Depending on USD/EUR it might be worthwhile. Bought mine through him a couple of years ago. And still sitting in the box not installed. One day...

With a few extras EUR1695 including shipping. Not sure of tax amount as I bought a bunch of things.

Me too. I have a C2S and bought the euro setup from Gert. It has been in my garage attic for awhile. Every time I think I'm ready to get it painted and installed I wonder if I should keep the original style bumper on. First world problem.

Planning a Euro turbo bumper and just haven't pulled the trigger. Thx for this info...now going to keep my eyes open and grab one when they do this deal. Then I can finally have the whole front clip clear bra'd.

Great info! Does anyone have details of what other parts are required for the bumper replacement? Seals, clips etc?

I think that’s my list......that’s a blast from the past. Warning I bought EXTRA fasteners and still have a few feet of the roll of sealing.
