bumper removal

[keoni1978]

Just picked up a GT3 front bumper and need to know how to remove the stock unit. Its a 2002 Carrera cab. Anyone got the DIY instructions? TIA

Have a look at my 3rd Radiator DIY. Link at the top of the page "DIY Section".

thanks Loren. By the way, if I'm just doing the bumper, do I need to remove the wheels?

Yes, you need to remove the wheels to make it easy to get at the fender liner retainers.

GT3 front bumper....NICE! Post pics when you're done!

By the way, I'm about to order the lower chin spoiler for the bumper and I was wondering if there is a difference between the aero kit version vs. the GT3 bumper version?

By the way, I'm about to order the lower chin spoiler for the bumper and I was wondering if there is a difference between the aero kit version vs. the GT3 bumper version?

The part numbers are as follows:

Aerokit II splitter 996.505.986.02

GT3 splitter: 996.505.986.92

I haven't seen them side by side, so I can't tell you what the difference is.

Just wondering how the install of the GT3 Front Bumper and chin spoiler went?

I have a 2002 C4 Cab, that just had some scratches across the bumper cover and hood from a rolling tire-retread on the freeway.

I'm considering changing the bumper cover to either the Aerokit, Turbo, or GT3 front end.

Any suggestions or comments after doing your conversion?

I would forget the chin. I removed mine since it was too low. Even straddling a dead squirrel in the road would bang it.

My 2001 used T-27 Torx instead of T-25. I used some cheapo bits from Ace, maybe they were labelled wrong.
