Euro Spec rear bumper?

Where would I find a Euro spec rear bumper for the 996 turbo?
Looking to get rid of extra black bumper pieces.
Thanks for you help!

Is there a good place to look at the rear of Alex's and CJV's cars?

Any competent body shop wold be able to plug the holes left when you remove the bumperettes. My dealer does that for me and it looks like it came like that from the factory.

My first choice would be a new rear bumper from Carnewal. This is what I did.

Thanks guys. On the original bumper, the holes were filled. This time I would like to try and use the euro spec.
I emailed Gert, he sent me a quote and seems to be able to deliver pretty quickly.
Thanks again for your help!

The "wart" holes were not filled. They were cut in for NA cars. The only hole the Euro bumper has is a small round hole on the right side (approx. 1" in diameter) for a license light.
