A seagull dropped a clam on my BMW and put a big dent in the roof today.
I'm looking for a particular seagull that hates German cars. If you see it let me know so I can get its insurance info.

Thanks Frank. BTW....back in the late '80's when I had X19 Bertone someone hit me in the rear quarter. I put some band aids on it until it was fixed. It turned to be a ice breaker for conversation wit da ladies.

One option could be to install a 997 GT3 Upper Air Grille. You would have to make sure the area of damage fits within the cut out area needed to install the grille. $30 part from Suncoast Porsche Parts

Thanks for the research, great ideas & offers!
Was out watching football all day or I'd have gotten back to this thread much sooner. A used stock bumper sounds perfect and keeps my insurance premium in place.
I'll check models/years that are plug & play with 01 C4 and get back to fletch / Dharn.
After looking at your facelift Mfletch I'm tempted to have my insurance company buy me an MK1 aero bumper and get the rest of the kit later.
BTW - haven't been around the Renns forums for a couple years and forgot what an awesome community it is.

how can you even get $140 ? that must be with ups account, because when I tried to buy a bumper and look for prices, UPS did not even want it because of the dimensions, unless I went with their freight truck and then shippign was like $400. ...
