I'd just be interested in the shocks under the bumper. I already have a short fg bumper but no shocks under them. Come to think about it, the 968 shocks might work too, no?

Thanks everybody I'm going to do a full inventory so I can call the breakers jard tomorrow.

Many thanks to all the contributions which has astounded me and it looks like by the time we have finished there will be no euro bumpers left in the UK Knowing my luck next week somebody will run into the back of my car

I'll be back shortly with an update

Mark, it sounds like a good deal from Douglas Valley! The best price I can get them new is £198.00 and that is without the rubber which lists at another £148.00. So £50.00 is blinding value!
Don't suppose they have a 968 transaxle up there pref with LSD???

cheers
Tom

Early 924 owners get in on this? I would interested for front and rear for a 1980.

Shawn

Edit-- Since it looks like this is possible I want to add.
With all mounting brackets/hardware. A good Dolomite grey would be great but quality more important than color.

Put me down for a guards red turbo one with brackets please, if it's in good condition (no repaint required). And if you need another distribution point, let me know (I'm in the midwest).

Tom - I have a contact with a 968 6 speed box with a LSD from a late 968 Club Sport mate.

I have already stripped this car of many parts (doors, rocker covers, bonnet etc) so I'll get you a price tomorrow mate and I promise it will be a good one. The car only had 60k on the clock.

P.S. I've got the special prices for you regards windows and headlights - Get on to this, our windows have just been tested with a shotgun and they did not even break mate !!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to get some pictures soon.

It would be better if we could have multiple distribution points in the U.S. Like, 3 or 4. Kind of need a east, central, south, and west distribution set up. I think it would lower the costs of shipping. I'm sure a huge pallet would cost quite a bit to one place, but if we break that up...it'll be cheaper?

Also, if you pay for a bumper to come from the UK, and when it hits the U.S. and you can't pay for shipping or something happens, whose bumper is it? Probably be ideal to set up these guidelines in advance so as to not have any problems with this.

Future- Any idea on 968 mirrors/ handles. That possible? If not, that's fine...you're already doing SO much. Us across the pond GREATLY appreciate the effort you are and will be putting forth. We'd be very willing to send our lovely U.S. bumpers back in return if you want kind of a straight up trade maybe?

Carbon Revo, 968 stuff is (somewhat) readily available stateside.
