Default Turbo S Front Splitter

Hi, Hope all are well on this excellant forum..
Does anybody know where I can obtain a turbo S front splitter for a c2s. I presume the c2s has the standard front turbo bumper.. As usual the prices in euroland are quite expensive...so dont mind importing.. here is a pic of what I'm after.. Thanks

Does anyone know of a Turbo S type front splitter but for NB 993's? I have the RS splitters on my car now but like the look of the Turbo S one better. Thanks.

You would need a Turbo front bumper to accommodate the Turbo S spoiler. The Turbo front bumper is standard on all widebody 993's. I've not seen a similiar spoiler for the NB.

Can I assume that a Turbo front bumper will fit on a NB? Thanks.

I agree Gert is great...have purchased from him myself. But is this piece of plastic worth $1093.00 after the dollar conversion. Oh...then get it primed and painted.

I have a fiberglass version off of a salvaged car and I repaired it my self for my race car. I would think a new one would look just as good and be Loads cheaper than a new factory piece. Not as flexable but stay off the curbs...

I have not found a source for a replacement on my race car yet but I bet its not too hard to find. I will check MA Shaw first but GT racing will be next. My whole front end is fiberglass but I have a stock turbo front bumper I am restoring for a spare and will need a new splitter as well.

As you can see, I just bolted mine in place with SS screws and nylox nuts. Hey, its a race car...

Mine is fiberglass and came from Mike Shaw, along with the tail. I did it 6 years ago, so I am sure the prices have changed.

I think the turbo bumper is one piece only, while the NB one is modular.
That's why the RS splitters, GT2 front lip, and TurboS front splitter, can only be fitted to the standard NB one.

The lip fits on the Turbo bumper only and as stated the wide body cars came with the turbo bumper. I can source the splitter in the UK/Europe but its approx £550. I just thought you folks in the states might have more of a choice of suppliers. Dont mind it being non genuine.. thanks
