2001 996 turbo. I am hoping the front bumper stuff is the same as some of you with a C4 or C4S. What this plastic part is in the picture is broken and I need to replace it when I do the annual radiator cleaning. Anybody have one laying around or know where I could find one? Thanks!

EDIT: I am not talking about the front lip...

I think it is part #16 on this diagram?

Thats not what I am talking about. Look at picture and you'll see the broken piece behind the bumper.

The broke piece is in front of the radiators, I dont see how it could be part #1 in the diagram, thats in the wheel well is it not?
Im guessing it is part #16 on this diagram?

I'd use fiberglass and epoxy on the back side. Maybe rivets and a piece of aluminum if you don't mind the rivet heads.

That definitely looks more like it! Good one...damn expensive part though for a piece of plastic. Maybe OP should check a dismantler or junk yard.

Yeah, no way ima pay that much for it! Do you know where I can find one of these dismantlers? Thats a great idea.

I googled porsche dismantlers georgia and only came up with one - German Auto Dismantlers
I also googled the part number and saw ECS Tuning had one for $483 (ouch!)

That's really strange that that piece would break like that - at least on my car, they're more like rubber than plastic (very flexible)...Specialized German Recycling on Ebay is really good and their prices are reasonable. There's also LA Dismantlers, but their site is terrible - you're better off calling them on the phone (I prefer the internet with photos...). Good luck - I'm sure you'll find it.

Agreed. maybe a rock hit it hauling *** down the interstate or something? it driving me nuts though and I need to find one that is not 350+ dollars. wish me luck.

Good luck. Usually in my neck of the woods it is "road gators" that take out your front end. One popped up from a semi and pickup I was following and took out the grille and passenger light (different car from the current 996). Maybe you'll find a rear ended car that's being parted out. Again, good luck.
