I'm making out like a bandit from this insurance saga. I have a turbo bumper coming that's had the bumperette holes filled. I plan to take it to a high-end local body shop that uses Spies Hecker paint and will prep, respray and install it for me. I'm sure they're used to this stuff. But aside from handing them a pair of Euro clear signals, should I source any other parts for them that may hold them up if they have to track them down? Or can they reuse everything on there already?

I have a turbo bumper to mount up as well, looking forward to the replies.

You will need to buy:
1 x Vent Grille 993 505 551 01
Piping left 993 505 543 00
Piping right 993 505 544 00
From the old bumper you need 2 retaining metal strip ( 993 505 735 01) there’s one on each side as a reinforcement where the bumper meets the fender
And 1 from the bottom ( 993 505 737 00) where the bumper meets the bottom chassis
Hopefully you bought an OEM part. I have tried the one in Glas fiber….oooo man that piece of **** nearly over choked my brain

You will want to get the front scrape bar too, the euro bumper is longer and will scrape on inclined approaches. Easy DIY for installation.

Thanks. I have Gert's FPB already. Won't the mesh from my current bumper fit? Why would I need new wheel liners? I just want the stuff that can't be reused from what I already have.

Polman

I have just done this. You have to order a new mesh, i paid like 45$ at Porsche center. The rest is as I wrote before, what you need for the change....good luck

tommyg

If you mean grille when you say "mesh", no they are entirely different. For proper fitment you need to replace the front section of the wheel liners along with the brackets as the euro-turbo bumber is wider. Some have gone without and rigged useing what they have, but at high speeds air gets behind and may flap around.

Rick Lee

Ok, now I'm reassessing whether I want a body shop to handle this or to take it to Patrick Motorsport, since they'll be familiar with what all is needed. This body shop comes very highly recommended. But they're not exclusively Porsche and probably don't see a lot of 993's.

Rick Lee

Just spoke with the body shop. They said they can source everything, as long as it's Porsche OEM. I just ordered the mesh and wheel liners from Sunset to save some money and will hand it all off to them with the car and new bumper once I get it. Shouldn't be too much more to have them round up the misc. little stuff. I think all my rubber was replaced during the respray about six yrs. ago, so I don't know that it needs replacing again.

This is great information for parts required. What is the OE Porsche part number for just the front turbo bumper?
