The concept of this guide was to provide a quick side by side reference to all the OEM bumpers and exterior accessories. Some parts have multiple part numbers, and to keep things visually simple I kept one part number and the rest included in the hyperlink, which will send you on ebay, so that you have a chance to grab a deal on a used part. Also note the part numbers are for the main part (were applicable), this will allow you to search the Porsche catalogue for this part number and see what other bits are needed to make the installation complete, such as ducts, brackets and screws.
I'm to sure that things do need to be refined, if you seen an issue feel free to contact us.

Notes:
- Multiple part number for the same item might be the result of Porsche updating the part. To simplify things one part number is provided for each scenario, however the links pointing you to ebay will include the multiple part numbers thus increasing your chance to find the required part at a good price.
- Part number for bumpers, are for the covers, additional parts are required to make the setup complete.
Front Bumper
The Porsche 997 front bumpers do not differentiate between narrow and wide body at the front, but do differ trims. The bumpers that appear to have the same style but have different part numbers are to accommodate the radiator and ducting behind the bumper. Hence this makes retrofitting a bit more complicated and is why I separated them in the list below.

Third Radiator
- Tiptronic - all cars have the 3rd radiator as standard in order to cool the transmission fluid in the same fashion as the engine oil.
- PDK - The new pump flows approximately 20 percent more coolant than the old. These modifications along with the optimized flow of cooling air at the front of the car allowed the designers and engineers to eliminate the center radiator found on the previous models.
- Manual - cars can also be opted with a 3rd Radiator if the have the Option Code 183 - Super Hot Country.
Rear Bumper
The rear bumpers might appear to be the same style but have different part numbers to accommodate the following:
- Narrow vs Wide body
- With or Without parking sensors
- US or Euro versions, to accommodate the US mandate bumperettes.
