Just wanted to know if the Turbo 996 front and rear bumpers would fit on my facelift C2 without any modifications !

Yes. Porsche pretty much did this with the 40th anniversary edition. Plenty of the the independent parts/servicing specialists will be able to do this.

I'd be concerned about the overall looks of the car though. Without the wider rear end of the turbo and C4S I think it makes the car look unbalanced.

Thanks Spice, maybe just the front bumper would look better, as you said the 40th anniversary model has the Turbo front bumper and looks quite nice but that also has the 3rd rad, thats why i thought the bumper may not be a direct fit .

The front is the same width, the rear is wider. I'm not saying you couldn't somehow squeeze it on, but it'll probably look a bit shonky.

Turbo has a wider body so rear would need modifying to fit. Personally I don't think the 40th anniversary edition works with the C4S front bumper, so wouldn't bother...
