Hi Guys,

Has anyone ever put a standard turbo nose onto a narrow body 993? Did you have any problems. Porsche says that it will not fit, Gert and others say that it will and I tend to believe them. Does anyone have any real experience?

Thanks and regards,

David

I've seen numerous photos on this board so I know it's a direct replacement, and it looks perfectly natural on the narrow body. I want to do it myself and have been trying to find a used turbo nose....

Take a look at Robin's <a href="http://p-car.com/diy/bumper" target="_blank">"How to remove the front bumper cover."</a> He installed a turbo nose on his narrow body car.

 

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your input. It's weird isn't it as the Porsche dealers are telling me that Turbo wings are more flared out at the front and so the nose won't it while Robin's photos seems to tell a different story.... Gert says there is no issue so I am wondering why Porsche has to spoil things by making this claim?

Cheers,

David

 

As usual Porsche dealers knows little about the products they sell.

 

I did it...looks great, IMHO.

No difference in the front fenders between standard and widebodies, just the rears. (And I really want to get me one of the new breed of digital camera's.)

This is one of my favorite examples of a TT bumper on a narrow C2. Looks perfect to me! If I'm not mistaken, this car is for sale too. At least it was a couple of weeks ago.

 

Hey Guys,

Thanmks for the photos. The cars look great. I had a slight accident and may be able to get the nose replaced on the insurance so I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers,

David

Make sure you specify North American or Euro bumper...some of the pics are NA (with bumperettes & amber turn lenses), some are Euro (no bumperettes, clear turn lenses)

 

And if you go with the Euro, make sure that the bodyshop doesn't cut the cover to refit the bumperettes, as happened to an unfortunate Rennlister recently... <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" />

PS Just noticed you're in Blighty, so you should be ok.

It is nice to see that someone is almost as talented as I am with regards to putting numbers on a car...

Nol,


What is the "official" name of the color of your car and do you have more pics of it?? I REALLY like that color

 

Hi Todd,

The colour is called "Zenith Blue" and here's a few more pics.

Edit: the colour in the big picture is tweaked in the digital processing. As usual, reality is different from both images. NH <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
