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

Cool bumber black grill would look even cooler. There is a real cool front spliter you can get For the 44 Id sick one of them on as well if you have the cash

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.
Had budgeted for £550 so with twisted acounting I can justify the spoiler if I really try.

What about these bumpers for something different?

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.

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.

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.

Now I'm spoilt for choice v sweden have a turbo look front end that uses the standard 944 lights & its £268! Will have to pay vat & shopping on this too. Mmmmmmmmmm. Thinks thas similar money to the first one.
Thanks for the ideas.
