Hi Guys,

Now I have finished crying, I have come on here in the hope that someone may be able to help with getting me the below parts after an argument with another car this morning(thankfully low speed, so no structural damage, just aesthetic).

The car is a 944 S2, so it will be Turbo/S2 parts I need, if they are in very good condition in Guards Red, that would be fantastic, but I realise that might not happen, so if it's another colour(as long as its straight) then that will be ok.

The parts I need are:

-Front Bumper.

-Front Badge Panel.

-Passenger side(O/S) headlight cover.

-Possibly a passenger side wing, but I need to double check this when I get home as the current one 'might' be ok for a repair as the only damage is where it meets the badge panel.

-Possibly might need a bumper support bar but will find out once the bumper is off tonight.

Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately the new badge panel is not for an S2, the only one on there for an S2 is a tatty one at £60, I might end up getting it and just hoping that it's a straight panel.

If you have a headlight lid, that would be fantastic as I'm struggling to find any about for an S2.

Thanks

Marc

Thanks for the information, I'm based in Harrogate, so a fair distance away unfortunately, but if they are willing to package parts then I can arrange a courier for collection, is it a private sale or is it at a scrapyard?

I have a red badge panel in the garage that I'm not going to use. It looks straight and clean but when I tried fitting it to the turbo the bracket inside it wouldn't clear the intercooler. I paid £40 for it and would let it go for that. Let me dig it out and get you a couple of photos.

Private seller in Fife, likely to be flexible. I will dig out the details I have if you are interested - I don't know the seller myself.

Sounds good to me, I'll take it :)

PM we your payment details and I can send the money over at some point today.

If you could dig out the details, it would be really appreciated.

Just before you do have a look at the photos and see if you can see anything wrong with it. I can't but can't figure out why it won't fit mine either. I've put my existing panel next to it on the photo for comparison.

Hi Dave, thanks for that, I'll probably still have it, if it doesn't fit, on my head be it.

I'll get mine off tonight and just have a look at those outer mounting tabs as that is the only difference I can see, but I'll get back to you either tonight or tomorrow morning anyway.

Thanks again.

PM sent with the contact details.

Difference looks like the inside skin to the front nose. Red ones seems to wing back slightly where the silver ones straighter.

Is that where it was hitting the Ic?

The outer panel looks exactly the same to me. I've lined the two up against each other and the top edge, bottom edge and the tabs under the headlights all line up. The bracket underneath it seems different some how as that is what is hitting the intercooler. I tried bending it back by hand and it still doesn't fit. I didn't want to damage the outer panel because its in such good condition so didn't get the hammer out.

Marc I'll PM you my details.
