Default Which Looks Better on a C2S - Euro front bumper or Turbo S front bumper?

Thinking about switching to a euro or turbo S front bumper... will keep my original, but like the look of these others on a widebody car... curious for opinions on which looks best and any pictures.. thanks~

turbo s chin spoiler is great, it just clips onto the turbo bumper, right? you should be able to get the bumperette holes filled at a good body shop- i was going to do that and the s chin spoiler at the same time but i figured as long as i had the euro bumper with the turbo s brake cooling ducts i'd be happy enough, maybe do the s chin this fall

If you put on the Turbo S, I would want something on the tail to balance out the look.

Jonathan,

Bob has a good point on the S bumper. I was looking into this and found a previous thread with pics showing the difference (of course can't find it now). I found the regular euro turbo bumper better looking IMO. For some reason, I find the S bumper with its extra chin too much.... plus it covers up those cool vents in front of the tires.

I would add the Turbo S chin, fill your bumperette holes and repaint. The Turbo S chin is only about $500 IIRC and is glued onto your standard Turbo bumper.

I like the regular Euro Turbo bumper with the S brake ducts - not so crazy about the bottom part of the Turbo S bumper, but it's a minor point...

how is the move to TX coming Tony?....


Actually, after seeing these and some other pics, I think Bob/others are right... would need something to balance in the back, and not willing to do that, so I think that Euro it is...

thanks everyone!

Hey Jonanthan,

Yes, I agree with you and Bob. If you are not adding the tail then I would just go with the Euro front.

The move is almost complete... my wife and kids have been there since Jan 2006. I'm here in So. Cal until my house sells. I hope to be there by the end of April or May time frame. I will be in touch with you and John (Jastx) when I get there.

You need to get that V1 hardwired into your car
