Default Front and Rear Bumperettes

Anyone know where I can get a set of Front and Rear Bumperettes....?

I want to get them painted via Bumper Plugs....(they do amazing work) but take 3 weeks start to finish.

I can't live with the car for 3 weeks looking 1/2 *** without them...so...I'll buy a second set and get them done.

Thanks..
Keith

I had my rear bumper replaced with the European one (minus bumperettes). I'll see if the guy still has my old bumper. If so you're more than welcome to the bumperettes. I can check next week.

You can always buy from Suncoast and they aren't very expensive (not related yada, yada, yada).

Keith - Are you sure you wouldn't rather remove them entirely - I love the look w/o bumperettes and clear lenses wrapping around the front!

Grant...

Do the clear lenses wrap ENTIRELY around the front and sit flush against the foglight lense with no gap ???

Yes, the Euro turn signal lenses are flush fitting against the fog lights. Gert has them in clear and amber.

It would be really nice if Bumperplugs would paint and ship a set to you first, taking yours as a "core" in return. That would be a great service and realy would not cost them much to do. I have suggested this to them as having to find another set in the mean time is what keep me from doing business with them. Eric's reply--maybe some day, too busy right now.

Chris..

I will call Eric this week and apply a bit more pressure on him to initiate a "core return" program.

Unless I find another set, I can't do it his way either.

Check the pics of my German car (www.modica.co.uk/porsche.htm)... no bumper plugs in sight! I much prefer this look.... why not go down that route as suggested?

Don't waste your money on getting them painted... I got the euros and the look is fantastic.

As some have suggested..." remove front bumperettes and install Euro Turn Signals" for a better look.

Well...not to disagree with others opinions and appearances because we are all entitled....but.....IMHO...I am not in favor of the differences in color (shade-shine) of the plastic turn signal sitting up against the much different (color-shade-shine) of the foglight lense/glass.

The contrast is too apparent...almost giving it a fake look. I think the painted bumperette breaks up the front end nicely.

I do have the clear turn signals and feel the space taken by the bumperette offers a shadeless/lack of contrasting effect.

Again, being picky here....as not to offend...so please...don't shoot the messenger !!! /

Just curious, anyone have a pic of what their painted bumperettes, front and rear, look like on a car?
