Sorry, don't know the part number though.(and there's a good chance the average parts person won't either)

Default Do you have to have the broken parts?

What if they dropped off and disappeared?

I'm asking because I bought some headlamps on ebay and some of the tabs are just gone - stumps are left. This one is missing bottom right tab. :-(

Default I think Stumps are OK....>

The kits have new tabs..Seems to me you could do the same thing with some aluminum, epoxy and screws...

Default damn what happened? you seem to have TT probs everyweek.

Did you get the bumper you were looking for?
If not do you want a front or rear bumper?

Default no actually, I'm getting the car back to stock and trying to put the car into selling condition...

just trying to get the most for it.

Actually the broken tab is my fault since I was attempting Riso clear corner mod.

The exterior is exceptional. It's falling apart mechanically. Looking at it you'd never know though.

I found a super clean TT that looks exactly like mine for a smokin deal.

What color is your rear bumper?

I may sell my car to Carmax to get this one.
So I'm just getting everything together to bid this car farewell.

Default those might be specific to the B5 chassis headlights, not sure though.
