Default "S" or Turbo front Spoiler on NB

Can this be done? Anyone have any pics? Thinking about swapping out front bodywork on my "NarrowB" for better looking front spoiler of "S" or Turbo.

Chuck, a bunch of folks here have upgraded nb fronts to tt fronts. They fit easily. I think you need to change the fender liners though. Do a search, there's a load of photos you'll find.

Here is the turbo nose on my 97 NB. Also has the lower splitters. No other work was needed. Got it from Gert, but Viper Bob should have at perhaps a better price these days.

I could not fine a definitive answer forthis...can you combine a Turbo bumper cover and the RS splitters?

Cheers,

Mike

Nope, it's one or the other Mike.

I suspected that. That is too bad, I like the RS splitters too (given I have them on my car). Thanks!

Cheers,

Mike

I just had my Euro Bumper Cover installed. I left the original wheel liners in place, they are approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch too short. I don't drive this car in the rain anyway and the folks at the body shop said it will not hurt anything. Everything fastened up and fit perfectly otherwise.

Front liners are $45 each, plus another $10 for the additional weather stripping. Call it $120 all up, including shipping. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. IMHO, of course.

Easy swap over and just have your bodyshop fabricate a couple of brakets for where the turbo nose is slightly wider at the bottom compared to the "narrow body" nose.

Cheers,

David

Thanks Allill,

Looks like yours will be fantastic once the conversion is complete. Don't forget to paint your spiler grill. ;-)

Cheers,

David
