Help - can someone identify these parts?

[X7LDA]

Looking to buy these parts - wondering if anyone knew the exact name for them or even better, the part number? The dealer is struggling to find them as I believe they are only really found on US spec cars. I know someone on here with a blue Aston has them just can't find the post..

Thanks

When Porsche fit them on their US cars they call them Bumperettes

Also responded to your post on AMOC, but in the event that you check here first... They just call it a "rear bumper moulding" in the parts list. The part numbers you need are:

6G33-17C773-AC
6G33-17C772-AC

Thank you sir - true gent. I gave up on the AMOC lot after two posts!

Maybe pushing it here but do you know if they require a special fitting kit?

Unfortunately I am led to believe they are a lot harder to fit than that!!

[brumma]

I've been told that the bumper needs to come off to install them. Are you fitting them to a non-U.S. car?

[X7LDA]

Thought that was the case.. I am indeed. Getting a few pieces done to the car and I not only prefer the look, but it will also allow me to refit my short plate to the rear.

IMHO Save your money and just fit a narrower plate

I remember originally asking you about the short plate - problem on the earlier vantages (pre-07) is that the rear bumpers are designed to fit the bumper guards, meaning if you remove the standard size plate you are left with two big gaping holes at each end. So that means you either fit the bumper guards of pay to have the holes filled in. Both cost about the same but I actually prefer the look of the bumper guards.

It's been done on a couple of UK cars on here actually - Steve*B (half way down) had it done - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=834...
