help with 2010+ grills

fellow teamspeeders, I am updating the front of my 997.1 C4S to a 2010 Turbo. I accidentally ordered the front left/right grills from a 2007 turbo, but the "vanes" under the LED turn signals do not extend onto the bumper like the 2010+ Turbo. after ordering the 2010+ grills, it appears they are two-piece, and the "vanes" snap on the front of the retaining frames. My dealer doesn't know what I am talking about.

Does anyone know the part number for these "vanes" in black, not titanium? first picture shows how they extend onto bumper for 2010+, second picture of 997.1 Turbo

Don't do it is my suggestion, now way its a direct fit? (internals etc) If you really want an updated look maybe try a techart, vorsteiner, or ruf update.

I understand where you are coming from DJ, but at this point, I'm in too deep! I already have all the other necessary pieces, and would never recoup the cost of what I have into it. I just finished the 997.2 rear update.

Starting to wish I went with the OEM 997.1 aerokit, but I like the look of the LEDs.

It will look great no doubt, I was just thinking how easy those pieces are to just paint, trim, and install. !

From what I have, they are:

99750576450 - Right Side
99750576350 - Left Side

It shows they are superseded to 9B1, which is Titanium.

Still trying to do some research to find black ones, but it's not looking good...

Thank you ECS!

Yes, this seems to be what I am finding as well. With all of the other trim pieces, adding 01C to the end of the part number specified Satin Black...although that doesn't seem to be the case for these items. I was trying to avoid paying $200 per side for the 9B1 Titanium pieces, considering I was planning on black wheels/exhaust tips, and Werks1 carbon items.
