Default Panamera S 2012 bumper change

I have a 2012 Panamera S. The bumper has completely worn out and I need to replace it.

a person I know is selling a bumper he purchased online for his Panamera Turbo 2014 however he could never fit it as his car gave away before he could install the new bumper.

How can I confirm if the bumper he has will fit my trim? No garages seem to give me a concrete answer before I make the purchase.

Attaching the pictures for reference.




Note: The white bumper is my Panamera S.

in a nutshell, means I cannot fit it? Figured the headlights of 2012 and 2014 would be the same. Currently the headlight washers don’t work. So could just cut through that to fit the bumper?

I see a brand new sporty bumper compared to a severely damaged original bumper. Figured it’s a no brainer to replace this right? Just wanna make sure it can fit hence this thread 😊

A fellow dubaian with a Panamera..
I'm located between Shj and Ajman.

A bit off-topic, but I'm curious: Where do you do your service and what-not? Struggling to find a trusted shop that won't rip me off.
Dealt with some, but they do terrible work for terrible prices, then complain about it being a "Porsche".

Hey buddy! Yeah I’ve struggled too. I’ve heard of a few shops which are reasonable? The Auto Guys in Dubai I hear at the best of the lot. However imho I feel you’re better off knowing the issues in the car via the diagnostics tool (as far as you can cover it) and then do the parts shopping yourself (again got a great reliable and cost effective supplier for all the parts)
