Hi All

I have a C2Cab due for delivery in December this year, and I'm trying to gather information on what I need to install the Turbo look bumper to this car.

Now, I'm looking at the C4S/911-40thSpecial front collection, and the bottom lip under the bumper is not aerodynamic as is the turbo's.


This is the C4S version that I think I need:

This is the Turbo version - note the bottom black lip goes right across the bumper:

Now, I think I need the following :

Front Bumper
Lower Lip
3 x Grills for behind the bumper.
Then just painted and fitted by either an OPC or 3rd Party

Has anyone ever done this ? Do I need anything else ? I notice on the C4S diagrams that the lower lip is ducting air to the brakes, so maybe there's something missing ? Do I also have to have the side skirts to match ??

Looking forward to my first 911 !!

Many thanks all

I thought the C4S & Turbo had wider front & rear wheel arches/wings wider track & bigger tyres in addition to bigger front & rear bumpers & it's the combination that creates the full chunky look,plus they are lower by 10mm than standard. I think the bigger bumpers may look a little weird on a narrow body car, better to look at the Carrera aero-kit, looks nice..but ain't cheap !!.

You'll notice the 911 40th Anniversary car is a Carrera 2 body with the turbo bumper on.

It's a winning combo :-)

Post this question on the 996/gt3 forum of www.rennlist.com there are a few of the gyts across the pond who have fitted these front ends to narrow bodied cars,,,quite a few piccies as well....looks much better standard if you ask me,Turbo front is for the TURBO...

sorry gyts should read guys,they are a nice bunch.honestly
