Here is what you you need:
1. euro rear bumper
2. euro rear bumper shocks
3. euro rear bumper trim piece
The bumper for the s2/turbo cars is different, it has a little cut-out and a mount for the rear tow eye (same as the front tow eye). This may or may not make a difference for you. (mine is from 1982 with a 931 part#, so I need to make a custom tow point)
Hope that helps!

Wow, good to see my old car is getting some publicity in here. I recommend the pushed in bumper look to anybody. It really updates and modernizes the front of a car. To me the pointy nose piece always made the car look very "1980s." It is a half an hour job that can be performed with some very common tools.

As for the cracking fiberglass- IF you get hit w/teh regular bumper, it's going to do damge too- EVEN IF the bumper shocks take care of it- you'll STILL probably have to repaint it- I don't know- might be nice tio have a little engine protection there, but, not sure how much the real bumper w/shocks, etc, really helps- just SOO ANY variables-
what if I KEPT the regular bumper & removed the shocks? I assume the real bumper would be a LITTLE sturdier than the fiberglass ones, but, w/out the shocks- not even sure it would work- ? How much do the shokcs weigh? It sounds like they're pretty heavy for what they are....?
Thanks...
