Ciao,

Very nice! I'm going the same route with my car. Where did you find the ROW front bumper cover?

How did those wheels fit? Did you need any spacers? Any rub issues? What size tires?

20 questions!

951Saga

Thanks Darwin

For the bumper cover I picked up an ebay special with some damage. Used some damaged rear bumper end caps and 3M Automix products to fill in the side markers and head light washers. The body shop filled the rear markers, (cause I got hit back there), and did the sanding and painting.

The Sport Technos fit better than I expected… did use a 7mm spacer for the front.
Tires are 225/40 front and 295/30 in the back. No rubbing so far, but I haven’t pushed it ether. I also had to zip-tie the parking brake cables back from the wheels.

Gorgeous, now just find yourself a euro rear bumper!

Ray_Singh

Great looking car Jason.

BTW: I'm based in the UK, so if you guys want Euro parts let me know. Maybe we could swap Euro bumpers, lights etc for the teledials that im after?

Looks good, you need Euro bumper...

JohnKoaWood

Nice looking, is there any plan to add the euro lights to the fenders?

Euro car guys, are the lights in the fenders also turn indicators? or just running lights like the US cars front markers?

Ray_Singh

We dont have the red and yellow markers on our cars.

We have only a small square indicator (turn signal) on the front wings in line with the plastic trim on the doors.
Much cleaner IMHO.

Olli Snellman

It's even cleaner if you change that amber to clear one.

Might win in the states, but not in the EU countries where those blinkers are mandatory items.

what did they use to fill the rear markers? looks really clean on the back

Thanks all for the complements though this one is far from gorgeous. More like good from 10+ feet, five shades of red, driver.

Thanks for the offer Rav I am looking for a few pieces… will post later on that. I have no teledials though.
Olli you are right, I would really like a Euro bumper with all the fittings, but I picked up an IFC bumper for a good price. The bumper is painted and ready to go, but it offers no protection… I know I’m being a pansy.

I do have the wing marker lamp bits, though the Euro wing panels have a pressed in recess for the housing to seal against. I don’t think my panel can be pressed without cracking the paint. I would have to place it above or below the crease to have a good seal. I’m undecided at this point.

V2, it looks like they used metal plates and filler for the quarters. My passenger side quarter was wrinkled by the PO then a girl spaced out at an intersection and hit my bumper on the driver side. I supplied the parts to the body shop and the insurance check covered most of the work.

Have just over 80k on the clock, Porsche remand ’86 block, it’s been hit on every corner, but from a distance it’s presentable and perfect for daily duty. The Sport Technos were not my first choice, but are the easiest 18” Porsche wheel to fit on a late offset car. The wheels look better in person and I like them more with time.

Looks great Jason! I've always loved those Techno wheels, especially since you don't see them very often. Clean job on the ROW look as well. I agree, a euro rear bumper would look awesome.

We need to meet up sometime soon. It looks like both of our cars have changed quite a bit since the last time we all had a get together.
