Rear Bumper Corner Options

[Toffynose]

Hi
I am struggling to find a decent pair of rear bumpers

Are they still available from Porsche?
Porsche Orignal?
What are the Dansk parts like?
Any other sources?

Thanks

Another source is Restoration Design. They list both LWB and SWB parts. No experience with how well they fit, however. http://www.restoration-design.com/st...=rear%20bumper

I think they may still be available from Porsche as well.

I have only experience of original ones for rear (IIRC new ones from Porsche are available, but significantly more expensive than Dansk) but if I could use this thread to check fitment of Dansk front bumper for SWB? Anyone used?
For SWB's originals are very often in very bad condition (not just rust) so choice for me is either new "original" from Porsche or Dansk one, Porsche part costing 2.5 times more. I have only used Porsche panels on my restoration and IMO fitment have been excellent, but would be OK to use Dansk bumper if fitment is good and save 1000$.

I've used Dansk once and was pleasantly surprised at how well it fit a LWB.

No matter what you use, expect some wrestling around to align everything. Even very nice, used OE.

Thank you Frank!! I assume then that SWB would be OK then as well as shape is so similar to LWB. I'd prefer new "original" but price difference is just so significant, and haven't been able to source decent front bumper from Europe.
True that pretty much always some fettling is needed (and with repro parts more than fettling, some are just unusable even as starting point), but this time I would just like to avoid compelete surgery as getting very close to paint. (and why I don't want to do complete surgery to my original one, it has been so badly repaired in the past)
