Default CUP Car nose.

Dose anyone have part numbers for CUP nose, RS nose, (If they are different) and the CUP lip?
Thanks.

And they come from the factory in white, the only color the car comes in, so for other color cars allor for repainting.

The Cup bumper comes in transport primer, the GT3RS bumper comes in Carrara White.

Thanks, Gert! I should consider the Cup item if my nose is not readily repairable....

Why would you want the Cup nose with the horizontal cut-out slot for the Motorsport tow hook-- unless you're tracking all the time. It's fairly easy to have your body shop just cut the front vent slots into the stock nose, which is what I did. You can readily order the Cup screens for the slots.

Lee, I can only speak for myself, but I bumped my bumper on a parking barrier and broke the two vertical columns that connect the lower bumper to the middle of the bumper. (It's not much of a bumper, I guess.) If I cannot get the bumper reaited, the cup bumper might be cheaper than the OEM bumper and I can tell myself it's an "upgrade." I'm just accepting how dumb I was to bump the bumper in the first place.

The car does see quite a bit of track time, so the tow hook is not a terrible notion.

Thanks for all the info.
I have a simillar situation as Phoka, I had an off on SummitPoint and need a new nose, Lip and Brake ducts and this is a good opportunity to change to the CUP version of all of these items.
BTW, test drove a GT3RS yesterday and I'm very impresd and wondering how much is it worth in US.
it has red side paint NO PCCB and 1200 Miles.

Periodically, dealers on eBay attempt to sell federalized RS's for the $140,000 range. At that price, I would think that only star-struck collectors would step up.

Gert's info was incorrect, the RS nose comes in RS White color code 900, Carrera white is more pearl. The paint will NOT match if you're installing and RS nose on a Carrera white 996 car.

All the Porsche UK adverts advertise the RS as Carrara white (notice the 'a' instead if the 'e').

The color is Carrara White not Carrera White.
