So I've had my 02 TT about a month now and decided I needed to get it to the track for a proper workout. I sign up for the Porsche Club DE event at Watkins Glen this Monday & Tuesday and decide to buy a trailer so I can take all the extra stuff I'll need. I'm at the trailer place for an hour or so putting the car on and off different trailers and working out the ramp details necessary for my lowered car. We get it all sorted out and I park the car way off to the side of the lot next to their warehouse building. I'm standing next to my new trailer talking with the Owner of the place when one of his guys backs out of the warehouse with one of their fork lifts and right into the back of my car! AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!! At that point I just started to laugh as the alternative was to cry. The guy on the fork lift couldn't talk and the Owner was just happy I wasn't freaking out. As it turns out the damage is not too bad just the bumper cover and one tail light. Which brings me to my question: Who makes aftermarket rear bumper covers? I've seen the Techart ones but wondered if anyone else makes a cool one. If I do go with the techart where is the best place to buy it? Thanks for any help.

 

here is a pic of our OEM Euro bumper. It looks pretty sharp without the bumperettes. We bought it from By Design but i wouldn't recommend them

 

that looks nice

 

I like the Gemballa....very classy, almost stock, but the openings are a nice touch!!

PS-It is also a prefect fit as it is only a modfied Euro OEM bumper

 

I vote Euro bumper

 

wow, i've never seen the euro bumper, looks great!

 

When I grow up, I want a Porsche just like that.....

 

THOSE OPENING AT THE BACK ARE KILLERS

 

Sorry to hear about the damage but kudos for maintaining your composure. Get a euro bumper, it'll look better balanced than going with only the TechArt back bumper.

 

Who sells that rear bumper!

as for gemballa craig contact, evan at fvd.. i believe they are distributor for it...

I didn't love how the top extended a bit farther, so I had it done myself... I could have removed the bumperettes, but call me crazy... I LIKE UM

What a stand up guy here. Evan going out of his way to take pic's of his car for another member to see what the kit looks like.

A+ customer service.

 

For those who don't know, the US spec rear bumper comes without the bumperette cut outs when you order it from your local dealer. One need not trouble themself ordering the Euro version if this is what they're looking for....
