Looking for a Euro 944 Turbo Rear bumper with brackets, etc.

Preferably Guards Red, but any color will do.

Yes, I know I can find on one eBay UK, but many of those vendors refuse to ship to the USA and when they agree the shipping charges are obscene. So I'm hoping someone here in the US already has one that they don't need/want...

Good luck. I couldn't find one state side. I tried to get a group buy going but the guy in Europe was taking a while to get back to me. Just get a fibreglass copy.

I've got time. Somebody has to have one here in the USA.

The best option unless you want to pay double the price due to shipping from EU. The Euro ones are fiberglass/composite anyway so why not buy the copy. You will need the brackets but those are available for EU for $50 shipped... UK eBay Euro Bumper Mounts

Not interested in a fiberglass replica. Fitment sucks, painting them sucks, they just, well, suck.

Like I said, I have plenty of time. Either one pops up here in the US or I try to convince a friend to bring one back from Europe for me when they're there on a business trip.

I hear you about the fg copies but don't expect to get a bolt-on bumper from Europe. I bought three back last year and they were the best I could find at a Porsche breakers. All three had badly rusted fittings holding the rubber strips on and only one of the rubber strips was salvageable. The mounts were also very rusty due to the salt they use on the roads over there. I ended up selling two and using the best one and that needed a lot of work. I finally ended up removing the rubber, filling the holes, painting the bumper and powder coating the mounts. Here's a pic of the bumper while I was prepping it.

Really I wish I would have bought a replica. Anyway good luck

Bought mine brand new from 944online. Everything was OEM. Somewhat expensive, but worth it IMO. Bolted up perfectly (The photos on his website are of my car)

unfortunately I sold this one last week, it's for the hatch but you can see the bumper there

I have a white 944 NA euro bumper with brackets that I would consider selling. Its the same as the Turbo except the rubber strip is thinner , I believe. PM if interested.

I tried to get a group buy going of these back a few months ago. I know there is demand for it, but I didn't want to buy them all myself then wait for people to pay me back.

I saw few times on facebook page "porsche 944" or "porsche 944 turbo" some guy was selling these for 250$ from europe with shipping included.

It was Justin off of "Porsche 944". I bought mine from him. I think he only had NA bumpers, though. He's a great guy to work with if anybody is looking for an NA euro bumper shipped to your door quickly for $250.

Keep in mind with buying a euro bumper, you're probably going to have issues with the rubber strip. Most/all of the nuts and studs holding on the rubber strip might be completely rusted up and just ruined. If you try to remove the strip (like I did) you might have to break/grind off the studs to get it off. Just an FYI for anybody planning on buying one and re painting it, check condition of the bumper strip.


(note: this is mine now, but when I got it, it was metallic silver with the rubber strip and in great shape besides the rubber stud/nuts)

Dougs951

I got mine from that guy too.

I recommend getting a turbo version, the strip is nicer and it has a hole for a tow eye
