Default Turbo bumper for Narrow Body??

I have a stock bumper on my car that will soon need a respray. I've been looking at adding the RS Splitters at the same time. However, my ideal is the turbo-look bumper (http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p93003.htm).

Question....is Gert's bumper ("P93 RoW Turbo look") which the description says will fit every P93 , narrow and wide body, different from the regular Turbo bumper? Or, put another way, can I buy a "regular" Turbo bumper for my NA?

Gert's bumper is the same as the Turbo, Carrera S and Carrera 4S bumpers and will fit on any 993 narrow body model.

I had the "regulr" turbo bumper installed on my C4 cab. The fit is perfect and it looks awesome. I'm sure Gert's bumper would fit too. It improves the look of the car tremendoulsly. Good luck!

Yes, the Euro would not have the notches for the bumperettes. That I think is one of the advantages. We sell these all the time with the Euro turn signals as a complete kit. It does not hurt resale in any way, and the factrory US bumper can be sold to offset some of the cost... A nice upgrade and there is NO chance of cracking from a bad fill job on the bumperettes. The Euro rear bumper is also very nice as it get rid of the gigantic bumpeettes back there.....

I like those gigantic bumperettes in the rear, plus much more protection, the front is another case,it looks much better without the rubber bumpers.,cheers,Sonny.

Just goes to show how the "grass-is-always-greener" syndrome works.
I actually want a european narrow body bumper to put on my wide-body car so I can do the GT2 look....
I also like my rear ends big, round and bump-free
