Looking to buy a Turbo rear bumper off a '08 997.1 Turbo (997.505.411.08) ...will this fit on my 2006 997 C2 narrow body?

I did a search but for some reason didn't find an aswer.
Please, need some help.

Thanks a lot!

Front bumper or rear bumper - your title doesn't agree with your actual post.

I am sorry I posted on the tread subject FRONT INSTEAD OF REAR.
Is the REAR BUMPER The one I am trying to purchase.

In the last year or so, someone in Houston fit a wide body rear to a narrow body and he said it worked...but i never understood what happened to the extra 44mm of width. Sorry I can't remember his name - maybe he will respond.

Thanks, so 997 turbos are wide bodies??

Yes, Turbos, 4 and 4S, Targa, GTS, GT3 RS, and GT2 are all wide bodies.

Carrera, Carrera S and GT3 are narrow bodies.

Ohh,, so probably the TT bumper may not fit on my narrow body carrera?

it can be made to fit, it will look slightly 'off'. i have seen a gts (again wide body) rear bumper on a c2s... it can physically be made to fit but can/will look too wide from certain angles.

dasael

Wow! Really? I guess that helps a lot! Maybe at the shop they can figure it out to make it fit...
Thanks for your anwers, if any body has more to say I will appreciate your comments!
Thanks again!

Wonder why somebody would do that. The GTS rear bumper best I can tell is identical to the standard .2 C2S bumper except for width. How fitting that to a narrow body comes together with any kind of visual benefit I'd like to see.

So, you think it that the rear bumper of a 997 tt on my C2 may not be a good idea?

jhbrennan

I wouldn't do it...I would expect that "squeezing" the extra 44mm to fit would leave some sort of visible bulge.

I agree with jhbrennan, I would not put a W/B rear bumper cover on a N/B car.

dasael

I want to improve the rear bumper look of my 997 C2 any ideas!!

Delete the bumperettes?
