Default Bumperettes

Hey guys have a 03 Carrera C2 and just picked up a OEM TT rear bumper. I want the black bumperettes that come standard with the C4S and TT. Is there a specific bumperette I need or just tell the Dealership I want OEM C4S bumperettes? Thanks

You really want painted bumperettes from us, not the cheesy black pebble textured oem version.

Uuuh, kinda feel bad to tell you this, but you have a narrow body car, and the TT bumper is for a wide body. Tough fit.

hopefuly you purchased a C4S rear bumper. the tt bumper houses the intercooler well. the C4S bumper is slightly modified as it does not include said well. as far as the bumperettes, you can purchase from dealer or through bumper-plug painted to match.

I opted for the European no bumperette route. I find it to be a cleaner look. If you go with bumperettes you definitely should have them painted.
Post pcs when you're done. Having said that, I've had mine done for 2 years and never posted pics

Manny,
Not sure about that. The only difference I found were the grills, TT are open, C4S are closed.
Cheers,
Stan
