Hi
I'm considering buying a 2001 turbo, but it has the little bumpers in front. Can they be easily removed w/o any telltale signs, or is involved to remove, and difficult to disguise?
thanks in advance,
dw

My local Porsche dealer told me that all you need to do is change out the black grill inserts to a later '01 or '02 model and you can use the same front valence. Am I incorrect?

Bob - he's talking about those nasty 'warts' that appeared on the first 300 - 500 Turbos that came stateside.
They are attached with tabs that fit into slots in the bumper cover itself, and a screw or two also. What a mess.
If you remove the warts, there are about 5 slits in the bumper for those tabs, and screw holes.
That's why it's a complete refinish on the bumper cover to do it, or better off to get a euro bumper cover instead.

I'm finally solving my 2001 stupid bumperettes! (Yipee!!) It is costing a little money....
I just got confirmation from Gert that my new GT2 tail and front bumper are on the way to me. They should be here next Monday or Tuesday and I plan to have them painted and installed by next weekend.
