If it is a real 951 bumper, you need:

Bumper brace
Bumper shocks
Header panel
Headlight covers
Headlight trim
Both fenders
Turn signals
Fog lights


There....that's about it........

You can go with an aftermarket replica, which doesn't require that you use as many parts. With the aftermarket one, you will need the peice itself, the tursignals and foglights. You will also need to find some good way of bracing it, from what I have heard there is not really good way of securing it on

The 951 aluminum bumper brace and shocks work with the replica with a little effort. That is the best way, IMHO.

I'm getin the bumper of a 951 being parted out ( 86).

I would be able to attain the other parts from his car as well.
What do u think i should offer for:

Front bumper and all parts needed to fit it to my na and the rear turbo valance?

I was thinking 5-700 for all. ( canadian dollars )

Wags, if you get all that for that much, you should be wearing a black hat and a black mask.

(ie......you stole it)

Best of luck!

The fenders are what kills the conversion...they add a lot of the price to it..

Yeah he wrecked his 951 a while ago, or enough damage to write it off.

I was gonna get his coil overs and stuff, but things fell thru for me.
