part number help...

Help!

Is this a legitimate OE part number for a GT3 aero kit front bumper???

Of course it would help if I put the part number in the body of the text!!!

Part Number: 996 505 983 01

There we go! :clapping:

I think that could be an early version of the late model one... unless that is the fab number.

The mk 1 GT3 bumper was 996 505 980 03 G2X.

The later updated (MY02 and newer) is 996 505 983 03 G2X.

It likely would not fit a pre MY02 car without new fenders and lights, etc.

This part number is on the inside of a bumper skin I received from LAPorsche. They assured me that this skin is OE, "since that is all they deal with" and that it will fit MY01.

I was quite clear when I asked prior to purchasing that this was an OE bumper. I am just not sure if I should take this thing to the body shop, have them cut the 3rd radiator hole, prep it and paint it, only to find out that it does not fit.

I have taken numerous measurements off the existing bumper, and compared them to the new bumper... everything seems the same.... Famous last words, I know, but I am kind of at a loss. Any recommendations?

Compare the headlight openings on your current bumper and the new one - if they are not the same then it is the MY02 and newer bumper.

Thanks Loren,

Looks like we are in the clear!
