Considering a new front end. Have to paint it anyway & my bumper has a hole in it!
What you think?

Yeah, that looks cool. I think I'd go with black grills rather than silver though. What colour is your '44?

You could have this bumper instead if you wanted to be different....

It's £350 inc shipping. VAT & duty on top. But to respray the entire front end including wings. (One of which has a dent.) is £500. So it's tempting. Should be simple enough to fit.
Just been quoted £400 for 4 new Ze912 Falcons! Fitted & balanced. :D
Had budgeted for £550 so with twisted acounting I can justify the spoiler if I really try.

Thanks for the input. :)
Lower one looks tidy. But where from?
Could convert it to S2 front end. But that means new wings as well & would cost too much. Might as well try somthing else.

You don't need new wings, just a decent body man to dress the fronts round, that's what has been done with mine. Bigger pain is the cost apart from the front, you need indicators, fog/driving lights etc. it all adds up to do it properly.

Have a look on Essential Styling & Club Autosport, they both do various conversions for 944's.
As for the above I like 2 hate anything Jaqueslemond does, some of his 928 stuff is horrible.

Thanks but can only find a S2/turbo front end conversion from ESS. It's £325 for the Spoiler but (As you say.) the lights will add to that. The splitter is another £300! Club autosport only do rear spoilers.

I,ve just checked out ClubAutoSport's web site, they do do the front end conversion & it's only £280 complete. Badge Panel £65 & Front Splitter £100. Click here...http://212.67.202.62/~clubauto/944%20TO%20944T.htm

You could look for the genuine Porsche parts off eBay also. I sold a genuine front Turbo/S2 front bumper through 911 & Porsche World last year for only £100, so they are about.

This one is also from ClubAutoSport. :laughing3:

Blue one was what I was looking for. It's a 924 kit. 924 is narrower but it might work. The turbo front looks good but I can't see that including lights. The lights come to more than that alone! Will give them a ring!
Cheers. :thumbleft:

Yeah the blue one is for a 924, but it looks like they fit 944 wings to a 924 in order to do this. So fitting one to a 944 should be a doddle.
