Default Will 944 Turbo Nose fit on N/a?

Hey guys,

I was using the search and it wouldn't search for the keywords, I guess too many for it to search from.

My question is:

I have a 85.5 Porsche 944 n/a and want to get rid of the Front Nose and bumper, and was wondering if a Porsche Turbo Front would fit on my N/a?

Many people have done it obviously, just wondering if its a straight fit, or alterations need to be done?


Thanks in advance,

Eli

The front fenders must be altered. I know there is a post describing it in here somewhere. I'm sure someone has the link...

What do you mean by "all kinds of parts" ?

Someone is selling The 944 Turbo front for $500 with Complete assembly.


I'll search on tifosiman right now. Thanks for your help

The SOW (Danny) put one on Rock's car Saturday- check out the SOW GTG threads from last weekend.
Fenders will require moderation, you'll need the aluminum sub bumper, shocks and nose as well.

Wow $500 is a good price if everything is there (fog lights, etc.) and in decent shape. Wish I could find a deal like that....

bumper cover, bumper shocks, actual inner aluminum bumper, headlight covers, nose panel, and all lights will be needed. also, modification of the n/a fenders' sharp edges will need to be pulled back a bit to accomodate the lines of the 951 bumper.

Hasn't this question already come up once this month? I thought "nose swap" threads were limited to once a month along with the "can I turbo an NA?" or "Will late offset wheels fit early cars"

Who's keeping tally - this should count towards February. Pete, are you keeping track of this? Tifo? Was this your job for 2005?

I understand this question must come up a lot.

Sorry about that..

When i tried to search for answers, the search wouldnt load, I assumed the key words were so common the search perimeters were to large to handle it.

I'll see if their "complete assembly" contains these things.

If it doesn't, I'll be more than happy to get them from you.

Give me about a week or so to let ya know, as I just got in a Car accident today (not my fault) and need to replace the front Bumper, hood, and side fenders.

jake got it right. along with any turn signal and/or foglights.

the fenders can either be replaced with turbo fenders or you can shape them to fit the turbo front end. you can also buy a fiberglass aftermarket bumper to fit on the n/a
