2001 have the old style hearlights. 2002 have the "Turbo" style headlight. So to use the 2002 bumper you need new fenders, headlights, etc. The are sources for a turbo look bumper for a 2001 or earlier car, but most are fiberglass rather than polyurethane.

Just switched over to OEM turbo front bumper on my 2002 996 cab. Relatively simple if you get the correct front inner wheel well liners for a C4S plus the center underbody panel that attaches the unibody to the front bumper. You will also need to remove about 3 1/2 inches at each end of the aluminum inner bumper strip that attaches to the car so it will clear the air inlets on the turbo bumber. As noted before the headlights are different for pre-02 cars and you will need turbo/ '02 or newer headlights...not sure on the fenders being different. There is a great post here on step by step instructions on installing one of these bumpers. I strongly suggest getting the correct front inner fender liners and the center filler panel instead of trying to use the ones you already have as they really don't line up very well (I ended up getting the new ones)

Hope this helps

Hi there i am just doing a complete make over on my 996 C2 non facelift model, Here are some pics of the front turbo bumper. This is a MASHAW one i bought off someone from the porscheclubgb forum. £200.00 It took a while to adjust it as the front top section just under the bonnet Sorry (hood) is fully adjustable to get the bumper to line up correctly with the said hood. Anyway good luck.
