How do you propose installing a bumper that's several inches wider than the fenders it mounts to? And what would be the point of putting a turbo bumper on a NA car when the only difference between a turbo bumper and stock bumper is its width?

Is this a real question?

He may be talking about a non bumperette Euro bumper cover. Only thinking this since the fronts are often called turbo bumpers.

For the OP, you can remove the rear bumper cover and have the bumperette holes professionally filled and the cover painted. Then you have a Euro bumper cover.

Here is my 1995 narrow body with euro turbo front bumper, and turbo whale tale. Both were bolt on with no modification

I am pretty sure that the front end on the cars (body shells) are identical. It's the rear that is wider.

So there is Euro and there is Turbo/S. And of course Euro Turbo/S. Euro = no bumperettes.

The front on all 993s are the same. So whatever you want to put on, you can. Might need new wheel well liners.

You can use an NB rear and have the bumperettes removed and filled. Or you can get a Euro version. But you can't put a Turbo/S rear on a NB car without $$$$$ in new rear fenders, supports, etc etc.

This is true and I have the Turbo Rear bumper sitting in my garage to prove it. Front fit great, however the rear was to wide so lucky I kept the NB rear.
