Default bumper differences between 964 cup and 964 3.6L turbo

I've been searching for a front bumper for my 964 turbo 3.6 L 1994 and get confuse since the part number is different and price is different. The worst part is the 965 bumper is not in stock any where I've looked for it the the others.

Visually I see no difference please help me.

The cup car looks like it is the same width at the front as the normally aspirated car, which is different to the wider Turbo 3.6.

Yup, narrow body car vs wide body car.

Carrera


Turbo


Still not seeing the difference?

Thanks a lot .... I guess is just the desperate idea to get the bumper.

So other than pelican part, vertex, where can I look for my bumper?

I have a fiberglass bumper which came with the car when I got it, now I want the real thing...

965 505 113 01 $1468 new at the dealer. They could probably get one within a couple of weeks from Germany.

If I had a '94 3.6 Turbo, I'd use OEM

The Internet has equalised the part supply prices. Nowadays I see it as a Porsche Dealer vs everyone else market, with price differences in the non dealer market due to exchange rates.

Unfortunately there is a limited market for OEM body parts given the number of cars out there. A long way of saying look for the best price now and pull the trigger. They won't get any cheaper and you risk an out of stock situation later on if you wait. The Speedlines went through the same phase a few years back.

I have two 965 Turbo / widebody front bumpers for sale. Both OEM. One looks ugly but is in pretty good shape for refinishing. The other one is in very good condition in white paint and includes the undertrays. Pics on the Classifieds :
