Default WTB: Euro 924 front bumper/fenders/valance in Chicago area

Hey guys just looking for a euro front bumper for the 924, fenders and valance would be nice as well but mostly the front bumper. I'm located in in the southwest Chicago area and I'm also willing to pick it up as far as northwest Indiana or something. Thanks!

Oh yeah, just to be sure and I asked this before but it will directly bolt on a 944 right(with the 924 fenders/valance)? Also willing to trade my 944 fenders for 924 fenders, primed but not painted if that's your thing. No rust or dings on passenger side, but left side has a tiny crease in it near where the valance meets (not very noticeable).

The 944 and 924 bumper are the same. See my post in the other thread, What year is your 944?

A Euro 924 bumper is different than a Euro 944 Bumper. Putting a Euro 924 piece on a 944 while retaining the stock 944 body panels will require some additional work. You may wish to check with rennlist members Harrisonrick or xsboost90 about fitment, and or check the posts here:

What if i want the fenders and front valance of the 924 as well?

would it require modifying the mounts (position? if i get the euro mounts as well) or just the actual fender. I guess what I'm more worried about is if the euro mounts will bolt into the us bumper-shock positions or not

if you're worried about it you should just PM Harrisonrick. he used euro mounts as per his thread posted above.

use PET to work out what parts you need, e.g. whether US guards and US valence will work with the euro bumper. still, you're putting narrow body work on a widebody car. look up the 924 D Prod cars. At least they have a flared lip on on the guards that will stop it looking (as) rediculous.

I don't mind a little bit of wheel-poke; I actually like it. If it's really bad I could just revert to the 944 original front end or put some flares on the 924 fenders. I would just prefer the 924's. The lines look much better and there are more options for splitters and stuff. I looked at the d prod fenders/valance and while i do like it I think it looks a little too... extravagant for a street car. I'd probably just get a chin spoiler and some bolt-on flares.

FYI there are 3 or 4 924 bumpers on eBay UK right now. Check with them and see if they would be willing to ship to the US. When I sourced my 944 Euro Bumper I bought it on eBay Germany and the seller did ship for a reasonable price. If I do some digging I may be able to get his contact info for you. He was an "amateur dismantler" and was parting out 924's and 944's regularly.

It was a small challenge to fit on the 944....wider and it needed trimming to allow the fog light bezels underneath. I did use the euro mounts for certain...no shocks anymore!
