Gert is A+ in all respects. Price, quality, customer service and delivery. He should be on your “must get a quote” list. Plus he is an active asset here for technical help. The only caveat w Covid is his shipping may be delayed like Tore. Have not seen anyone mention this but it’s possible.

That looks sharp. Love the wheels too. Did you source a ROW NB bumper or use your original and have the body shop fill the holes? That’s what I did when I first got my 993, then fell in love w the Turbo ROW bumper look.

Sorry to hijack here...

@EvilllEmpirE
Nice wheels. Are those tramont cups or speedlines?

With regards to filling bumper holes, any competent body shop can easily fill them. You can do them diy too to save money before sending to the body shop for paint if you have experience patching holes in drywall or filling dents in wood... Basically the same thing with different material.

Bit of an aside, but I ordered my RS steering wheel from him on Aug 11th and received it August 13th. 2 days from Belgium! Incredible.

Gert is 100%

Thanks!! I actually used Gmorat’s bumperette deletes and had my body shop fit and paint them. I contemplated the Turbo ROW bumper....but wanted to keep the stock NB Bumper look.....just lean it up a bit.

the part about shipping is correct. I reached out to get the euro turbo bumper conversion and his normal shipping is not available so it’s 250 more bucks. Might just do it anyway.

just confirming above that parts list is in addition to what comes with the kit from Gert??

This is my full TT bumper writeup. This may help some of the confusion in this thread. Gert's kit provides the major pieces but more parts and pieces are required for a quality job. This write up dates back probably 15 years so verify part numbers and do your own due diligence. The PET blowup of the TT bumper is very helpful. Definitely,,,,

- Change ballast resistors RH and LH if never done
- Install FPB if ROW ride height. Easy to fit now.
- Change falling apart foam pieces that are glued to bumper cover inside to direct air through heat exchangers. There are two on each side upper and lower. At least they were there when new.
- Dry fit before paint!!

One correction to my parts list. Should be qty 2 #993-575-772-00 sealing wedge lower. Four sealing wedges total are needed.
