Question Help identifying front bumper

Can anybody (anywhere in the world of Rennlist) identify the nose/front bumper on my 92 964 Euro Cup car? I'd like to buy another one, but have never seen another one like it.

The car has been all over the place in it's life (Germany, Austria, Hong Kong, New Zealand and finally the USA; so I have no idea where it picked it up.
I know it had the nose in New Zealand (pictures of the car being repainted).

It is fiberglass and has 2 detachable 'winglets'; one on each side. It sort of looks like a 993 bumper, based on it's lower grill, but I'm not sure. I haven't removed it, but I can't find any markings/numbers easily visible.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Lewis... I bought mine from www.rennspd.com I think they use a picture of my car to advertise it now.
Please post or PM me with any questions



I also posted the DIY for it here...

Hope this helps!

EDIT - Upon closer inspection of the pictures you posted... It looks like the spoiler is an integral part of the bumper. They aren't exactly the same... But close!

Rick,
Thanks.
I saw yours, but as you mentioned, it's not what's on my car.
I've never met anyone at the track who could identify it......it must be an overseas aftermarket part?

Either that or a custom built bumper. It looks close to mine. With a little fiberglass work you could do it or have it done.

You may want to call rennspd to see if they can build it for you. I know they do custom work.

it looks like someone just used filler or some other material between the two pieces to get one solid piece. Maybe a good body shop can do the work for you so it looks like the solid piece you show.

It doesn't matter really since PCA is now enforcing the GTC-1 rules for 2006. They will make you remove your 3.8 wing and replace it with the electric auto wing and remove the front spoiler and replace it with the factory black under tray. The 3.8RSR "winglets" and your sliding lexan windows are not legal for 06 either. Or they will bump you to GT2R where you will have a weight and power disadvantage. Disappointing really...

No, it's actually a one piece (minus the 2 winglets).
The lower opening is more 993 than 964, based on shape.
I don't believe it's a 993 nose, since they are different than 964's due to headlights.
It's fiberglass, so it's definitely not OEM.
I'm stumped.

This is the beauty of only doing DE's ....I don't have to think about things like that.
The only bumps I get are between run groups, depending on region.

Lewis... A dumb question... There aren't any markings of any kind anywhere on the bumper? Maybe if you took the tray off underneath and looked?

Last time I looked (put the car up on the airjacks), I couldn't find any numbers or markings.
It will have to wait until winter's over....the Cup car has been forced to spend the winter in the trailer next to the garage (out of heated garage space)

I was just hoping somebody would have recognized it.
