Bumperettes in Canada?

[Mike(UK)]

Guys,

I'm thinking of moving to Canada. I noticed whilst I was over there that 911's seem to have sprouted 2 hideous lumps on the back. Are these a legal requirement in Canada or can they be removed?

Thanks

These are required in North America :angry:

I had two black bumperettes either side of the license plate. Replaced them with ones that match the color of my car!

You need the bumperttes. Have you seen a moose up close yet? B)

What part of the country are you moving to? Each province has different rules/laws for imported cars. And yes I'm sure they can be removed but check with your local regulations.

You can remove them, but then you will have 2 holes in the rear bumper! :o

Pretty much, they have stiffer bumper requirements then the US. You could probably convert the car over after registration. Depending which province your moving to, the regs differ. You might check the www.riv.ca for importation of vehicles and procedures. Alot of people in BC just head to CA, Oregon, or WA and import one up. Prices seem to be low here on the west coast, and dropping.

If you do consider converting the bumpers over to the euro type, its worth considering bringing over the parts when you move. They are not the easiest to come by here(US/Canada). Good luck with the move. Regards :)

Thanks guys. Porsche really should take these laws into account when they design the back end!
