for a 2003 996 TT?

 

The nose is a kindofacopy of GT2's one. Wheels are OEM Sport Technos. Option for C4S and turbo.

 

Wheels yes; front bumper cover no. It is a GT2 replica just glancing at it.

 

The bumper looks to me like the Duraflex GT2 replica bumper sold on eBay that no one seems to have tried. I know there has been plenty of talk about it, but from what I have seen, no one knows anybody who has actually installed a Duraflex bumper.

 

Thanks for the replies. I may go look at this car this week but a little weary why someone would change the front nose on it. The car fax comes back clean but it may of gotten still hit.

 

Not sure why someone changing the front bumper would make you tired but a possible reason is because the OE bumper is a little boring looking and the GT2 style with the vent near the hood really breaks it up and makes it look more modern.

 

At a glance, how can you tell the bumper is a replica?

 

For starters, it doesn't have the stock GT2 lip underneath it, nor does the ductwork look like factory.

 

I wouldn't necessarily be worried. It may have been changed due to purely aesthetic reasons. My car is an '01 that originally had the bumperettes. I purchased a new bumper cover and had it painted and mounted because I absolutely hated them. That's not saying this is the case, but it really only implies the cover has been changed out to something different.

Instead, I would encourage you to focus on the ownership history of the car and whether or not you have verifiable history of the car. I'd want to see a service history on the car. For the right price, you should be able to cover all these questions with the right car. Don't pay premium money for a car with an unverifiable history...

Just food for thought.

Chris.

 

Agreed... like Hams said, I wouldnt be worried that someone wanted to change the front bumper, it could have been a matter of preference of the previous owner. Many of us here "upgrade" to the GT2 bumper for aesthetic reasons and some of us functionality. I for one will be getting a GT2 front bumper soon!

Hey, if you want, I can sell you my stock Turbo front bumper cover!
