Default n/a --> turbo/s2 front bumper conversion

I just bought this from a friend that's moving, for a great price!! I'm looking for a turbo/S2 bumper, support and fenders if anyone has any info on this conversion please let me know. I think that's all you need right? This will be my daily driver while I work on the 951!!

If anyone has any for sale please let me know. I live in NC so if your close I can pick them up. If they are the same color that would be awesome but not a requirement....

Let me know what you think... Some of you guys from the Raleigh NC area may know this car!!!





The last one, my wife got a bit happy with photo editer.

Don't have the parts for you sorry, but

Late 85, or 86? And love the color, what is it? Also, those deep dish fuchs are sexy.

I know Kyle (Kab996) has done this swap...

85.5

Not sure of the color, thought it was factory? I haven't gotten the folder with all the info yet. I get that tomorrow... Very well taken care of!! 90k miles all belts, water pump and gaskets just done, everything works.... 4 owners and a 4 inch binder full of records!

Congrats on the great looking car! Don't forget the nose/header panel to complete the 951 bumper conversion.

Garnet Red Metallic it is, same color as mine.
I bought all the parts needed to make the front bumper conversion on my n/a.
After getting eveything I decided on a different setup.

My asking price is right to sell but I am in Ohio, and shipping all these huge parts would drive the cost up.
Do let me know if your interested.

There are some of the parts you require for the conversion in a WTS post in the Parts Marketplace Forum here:

Don't forget the light covers as well as the header panel and offcourse the lights.

Why do you want to convert, personal preference? It looks good as it is.

Thanks guys!! I have a 951(pictured below) and I love the look. I guess it is personal preference but I just keep picturing that car with the conversion in that color and I just can't wait to do it!! Don't get me wrong, I love it how it sits, I just have a week spot for turbos and I now know part of it is the look...

I love the turbo look as well but in this case I think a euro bumper would look awesome.

I've got all the parts needed to convert the front. I even have the rear diffuser and side skirts.
I'm just outside of Nashville Tn. and could meet you closer to Knoxville if that helps.

Nice! I have a preference for the Euro also but I also think the Carrera GT front is a nice look for an na, and an easy swap compared to the Turbo front.

Op obviously loves the turbo/S2 look best, GL with the swap

Carrera GT:

Just my $.02
