Default Turbo/S2 fog/euro drivers light compared to N/A

Hey guys
Been tinkering with ideas on how to get a unique, cost effective, and pleasing look to the front end of my '83

Was thinking of getting one of them fancy fibreglass euro bumper replicas without any openings for lights/turn signals, and fitting the turbo turn signals into the bumper, and if possible the euro driving lights where the stock fogs would be.

Just wondering the relative size of the drivers lights compared to the stock fogs I have

Quick (read: crappy) photoshop job to better explain myself.

Thanks for any input

Both the fogs and marker lights are about 13" wide. The fogs are about 4" tall and the markers about 1-1/4"

They are hard to find up here, you're right, and harder still to find complete. I've bought rear bumpers from ebay.co.uk on occasion, and I continue to believe that, especially for a red car, there is no better looking 944 from the front than a Euro NA 944 without fog lights:

I love the lower valence without fog light openings, but if I encountered a real euro bumper I'd just keep my valence and route some brake cooling from the openings.

I'd like to see pics of euro bumper n/a's with splitters if there's any out there

I don't think it would look right.. Too much empty space above/below the signal lights. At least according to your pic.

How about 968 front fogs/bumperettes/turn signals, brake ducts, and front splitter?

killing time tinkering with photoshop, but i kind of like the result.
