where to get Turbo S body work?
Greetings from "down under" viz. Australia. I'm new to RENNLIST so apologies if this is already answered somewhere .... so much good info to read, I'd need a spare week...
Selling my 2.5 y.o. Boxster S - have put a deposit on a v.clean Red 93 968CS. Am I excited? yes sir. Am also keen to give it the Turbo S makeover as mini-project #1. Not the engine (yet;-) just the bodywork.
Is there a good supplier of these body parts (world-wide) i.e. nose with lower air dam & larger central inlet, bonnet with dual NACA ducts etc, adjustable larger rear wing? And how much should I expect to pay?
Or any other suggestions .... thanks.

Many thanks SANDOVAL, but I'm already in touch with Peter awaiting his quote.
I am keen to search out other good sources (anywhere) so I can compare prices etc ... gotta make the most of global shopping opportunities ....

I am also looking for some of these parts, since the turbo S engine is done. A great find would be the dual bonnet latch system. Please post any findings. Thanks Tate

Scott - Well gudday mate... youre a long way from home! I live in Redwood Park (up TTG way). How long ago did you work at Chateau? I deal with them quite a lot - good bunch. In fact I had them pre-inspect the red 968CS I just brought from a friend who is also porsche-o-phile. He had owned it for only about 2 years. It was sold new from Chateau in 1993 (for a mere $133,000 !!). Quite rare yes, but a bit of a secret gem for those of us in the know. What are you driving? (please don't say a Suburban)...
