Not sure about the front but I like the rear without the rubbing strip, also did you remove the door and side moulding strips ?

Thats the spoiler I was looking at(Some time ago.) Whats the quality like. Thickness of fiberglass compared to the bumper you took off? How well did it fit?

Edit: Are those brake ducts I can see? Good idea if they are.

I felt like the front bumper let the car down, mainly due 2 the gap around it. I understood it's function. But needed 2 go

I like it but your number plate isn't straight! Great job with the air intake. Should actually work that way. All fiberglass parts seem to be poor quality. Was so disappointed with mine I sent it back. It was a 924 Carrera one.

Do NOT chuck your side rubbing strips away as they are expensive to buy new !

That looks good, quite subtle as you have to think which bits are different.

Sorry, don't like the front, Ferdinand and co did s better job originally, back end is fine though, side rubbing strips were a delete option though personally i like them. Each to their own, looks in great nick. Enjoy.

I felt like the front bumper let the car down, mainly due 2 the gap around it. I understood it's function. But needed 2 go. Done the very same, rubber delted and rear bumper gap closed up, and the door mocking removed, I was completing that front bumper, or carrea gt style. In the end I went 4 the turbo front. With a chin spoiler

Right on the button, its for an air intake. I replaced the original a while back with a cone filter, sold the original on eBay then read reports about sucking hot air from the engine bay etc so replaced the cone with an enclosed, cylinder shaped filter. took a large pipe from the opening and to the front of the bumper (only area the pipe could fit too and be efficient) The fit and quality of the bumper.. not good. As you can see the gap around the is slightly uneven. i pretty much had to re-shape the bumper again once i had it. A real bad buy but tried my best to make it look decent! Its about 90% better now! I like it. looks better when you see the car as a whole, rather than a close up front picture. I'll take a fresh snap when the sun comes out (if ever) Yup the side strips have gone, they flicked off after a while leaving a thick glue which was nothing short of a nightmare. Also the stone chip guards have gone (replacements awaiting fitment). The rear rubber strip was very easy to remove leaving, i think, 6 7mm holes around the outside which filled no problem. t3rra - Quote: I felt like the front bumper let the car down, mainly due 2 the gap around it.

The ferdain and co, the 924 bumper is ok and the 924 carrea which the 944 shape came from! Even without the bumperettes it looks better. I did look at the Evo bumper a lot as there wasn't much else. Think I would of gone 924 carrea if I hadn't gone turbo.

I like it but your number plate isn't straight! Great job with the air intake. Should actually work that way. All fiberglass parts seem to be poor quality. Was so disappointed with mine I sent it back. It was a 924 Carrera one.

I was going to send my bumper back, but having paid far too much for it, and then paying the same again just to get it over hear from America, it really wouldn't be worth it! Quote: Do NOT chuck your side rubbing strips away as they are expensive to buy new ! OOPS! they've long gone haha. I'm Thinking of having a Porsche decal down the side, does anyone have any suggestions? or should i just leave it!?
