Shucks, i was the first person to ask about shipping stateside...BOO!!!!!

Anyhow that is a n/a type euro rear bumper. Same as what Tifo and i have. It completley changes the look of the rear... i am looking for another to put on my 951. With the more flush mount and the turbo rear valance, it looks 'perfect'.

Thanks Techno.

Thanks. I am pretty excited. I have a 951/S2 rear spoiler on my NA. I also have a mangled end caps. So, I thought this would be a nice fit. I probably internalized a photo of Tifo's from way back. Thanks Tifo. Thanks Rennlist.

I keep wasting money on other crap when I need shocks. Oh well, my car will look marvelous. Especially with my 931 nose coming soon (trade with another member).

If your car is red, it will look alot like mine. Ive got the 931 nose, euro rear and a 968 type bridge spoiler waiting to go on (maybe this weekend). Get the 968 mirrors and door handles also..they will be twins .

I swapped out my 968 wing for a stock one. Other than that and the mirrors, we are twins.

Update: Bumper is on its way. Total price: 220 US. Does not include brackets. Shipped via http://www.parcelforce.com/portal/pw. My plan is to modify an extra set of bumper shocks. I will post pics when I get it/get it sorted out.

Euro na/s2/turbo rear bumpers are the same. Remove the rubber strip, fill the holes and paint for a really clean look. You will need the Euro mountings also, they are different from the US spec.

Nope, they aren't the same.

The S2 and 951 have a different bumper that has a provision for a tow eye in it. They also have a rubber strip that is wider and a little square part of it that pops out for the tow eye.

The N/A bumper does not have this provision.

ur right tifosiman, but i think the poster was more interested in looks and fitment. They (almost) look identical and fit in the same manner, i.e: without the stupid plastic side pieces in the us bumper and much closer to the body.

I thought maybe I could mod the US bumper mounts to fit the euro bumper too - believe me, it wouldn't be worth trying. The US mounts are made to stick the bumper way out there, unlike the euro bumper mounting. The euro mounts are on ebay.uk all the time for cheap.

Did you give this a go? Are you able to compress the bumper shocks a bit? Anyway, if it does not work, it is nothing time and money can't fix. Michael
