As owner of the yellow car, I can say that the front bumper is OEM Turbo S, as is the rear wing. I did not install them, but rather the previous owner went to painstaking levels of detail to install the proper parts. I have the original front bumper and engine cover sitting in my storage shed, which were part of the deal when I purchased the car.
All I have to do is maintain. And enjoy.
I find it interesting that there are some folks who have asked me if the car is a true "S" model. Pretty obvious from the lack of rear fender inlets that it is not an "S" (unlike the silver car in the pics which is a true Turbo S (lucky guy!). I've also had a few folks appraoch the car as if it were an "S" and then get upset (at me) when they don't find the full carbon fiber covered dash. Oh well. I know it's not an "S", and I certainly don't try to pass it off as one.
Cheers!

For those interested, Steve's front bumper is an OEM euro bumper with the turbo "S" chin spoiler added with lots of care taken for getting a square, tight fitment.
"just Carol's" in San Jose did the fitment and paint work. Making the Techart ducts / foglights fit and stay secure to my liking was a special challenge for Carol and me ! The fog lights have HID lighting as well.
Glad to read that Steve is enjoying the car.

The Green Machine is a bit tame compared to the TT mostly because of being stock. Not saying the green machine was lacking power, it had that in spades, but the TT is more brutal in it's accelation and power. Definatley more kick in the pants, it never lets me down
