Can you send me a plug for the other side?

If you don't mind, I'll refund you $5 and if you could send the spare back to me I would much appreciate it.
Sorry for the snafu!

+993 Package arrived today, safely packed in bubble wrap. The bumperettes were already off as I'm re-wiring my Turbo Scoops with proper round connectors (https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...o-s-ducts.html) - so I had a chance to do a test fit. Even without paint these look better than the bumperettes! The fit is pretty good, although there is a distinctly sharper angle to the plugs that leaves the outside edge a bit recessed, and the inside edge protruding a bit. Still this is a great temporary fix until i get a chance do a proper respray of the bumper and either fill the holes or get a new bumper. It took all of about five minutes to sand down the inside lip so I could slide the plug in. I left the lip on the top and outside edge intact, and the plug still fits right in. here are a few photos. Thanks GMorat! Nice to know I won't be putting bumperettes back on, ever. And if anyone needs a set of short clears, let me know!

Packaged arrived safely wrapped in bubble wrap
Tape up and sand inside lip
And the plug slide right in
This shot hi-lights how the plug is angled just a bit too steeply, leaving the outside edge recessed and the inside edge protruding slightly - still a good temporary fix
Even without paint, these look better than the bumperettes! Thanks to Gert at Carnewal for the new euro-clears!

Either way, I agree that this is a very good finish for the cost and level of involvement.
Excellent work to you, and especially to Gmorat.

Have you tried putting a small shim on the left side of the connection, between the car body and the plug/insert? You could use a piece of sheet metal or something? I hope this doesn't sound too hack-ish, but it might push the left face out just slightly, and you could sand down the right side (probably will anyway I assume). Just a thought.
Either way, I agree that this is a pretty good finish for the cost and level of involvement.
