So, two months into the ownership of my C2 and loving it every time I drive it. The car presently has aero sideskirts and I am thinking of adding a lip to the front bumper. I've seen one on a mk2 listed on Autotrader in the attached picture. Any idea what type of lip it is and where I might be able to buy it. I did try design 911 for a similar one but they said it wouldn't fit the facelift 996.

Call any OPC - it looks like a GT3 Mk2 lip - the same as what I have on my 996.1 GT3 CS (slight mods needed to fit it on an early car). Paid about £160 for mine 2 yrs ago.

Note that the front bumper in the picture is a GT3 item which differs slightly in design from the C2 bumper. You might need to do some drilling then to attach the lip.

Also the GT3 plastic lip is ridiculously expensive from Porsche so you may want to look at aftermarket options.

Get an RS lip, Porsche Apart do them new on ebay, they also sell the fixings. That's what I replaced my standard GT3 item with.

I don’t think it is.

Thanks for this. I had a look on their eBay shop. Very reasonable price. Just wondered whether it will fit on to a standard mk2 bumper without any modifications?
