D2000 Posted 20June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2017 Personally I'm not a fan of the MK2 side skirts on a MK1. If you're not in a rush MK1s do come up from time to time on ebay/gumtree. Where are the MK2s from?Design 911.After a bad experience with a used part recently, I'm only prepared to buy new for the skirts so am stuck paying retail!

D2000 Posted 20June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2017 Oh no, is that the front bar?Not as described? It's quite difficult with panel parts unfortunately.Yep. So ended up buying a brand new one. At the time I had side skirts on order from Suncoast Porsche for about US$1,100 but that ultimately couldn't get stock. So cost has really blow out!

dan_189 Posted 20June, 2017 Report Share Posted 20June, 2017 So bad it was unusable? It looked okay in the photos, guess that's half the problem! What did the new one set you back? Did you get it from Design911? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get it from Design911? Still repairable, but evidence of past repairs that weren't shown in the photos and which if I had known about I wouldn't have bought. My car is in really good condition and I just wasn't prepared to put a bumper like that on it.New one was $3,100 from Porsche Centre Adelaide, including shipping to NSW. Design 911 was only a few hundred less so I preferred to buy locally and avoid the hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 20June, 2017 Report Share Posted 20June, 2017 Thats a great price actually, the MK2 bumper is over 5k new from the dealership. Shame about the second hand one though.Hang in there you'll find the side skirts eventually but now you need to get the taco wing!! That is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
