UPDATE Concrete wall (1) and '98 993 cab (0)
My wife nailed a concrete wall today but fortunately at very low speed. Long story (of the "road to hell is paved with good intentions" variety with 1st & R mixed in too), she feels terrible about it, she can ride a K75 and if we added up her vehicular incidents since we're married I think she's now an "ace" (even had two kills in one day 
).
Damage doesn't seem too bad (one bumperette gallantly threw itself between the car & wall) but I think the bumper is history... So I'll be making a few phone calls and trying to figure out how to restore "1948-98" back to its former glory.
I sense the general opinion from other posts is Euro (Sunset in Beaverton?), but I like the idea of keeping the car 100% stock (bumperettes look so much nicer at SUV altitudes). This is just a low miles cab that's never tracked & never driven in rain. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone for ideas & photos. I think it's working out as well as can be expected. The body shop said they can repair the original cover... so despite the popular vote going in favour of "Euro" (photos looked nice), looks like "stock" will win anyway.
As for the wife... well, she didn't try to hide or delay the news when it happened, and that's something. I have to also say that she push started my 914-6 several times during a long road trip, she can ride a K-75, and she's taller than average, so I think I hit the jackpot on my first try. Is that
or 
??!! (No answers needed but I'm guessing some will be supplied anyway)
