Now that looks interesting! Wonder if the seller has lights to go with it!
GT front ends a bit different though. :scratch:

Genuine? How can you have a genuine seal, when they are only sealed with some sort of putty like substance? And his feedback score isn't all that good either.

i see you're the highest bidder at the moment

Didn't win it in the end. Oh well, can't win them all...I wonder how much they cost from Porsche anyhow?

Wow, I can't believe these copies cost so much. I sold a genuine used one for £100 last year.

These cost more because you don't need t molest the S1 type wings. S2 fronts are relatively common given the amount that are being broken, whereas these bespoke Lux S2 look alike fronts are hand made in small numbers.

Now this is more like it...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-944-S2-TURBO-COMPLETE-FRONT-BUMPER-inc-LIGHTS_W0QQitemZ220195919741QQihZ012QQcategoryZ10408QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...And it includes all the lights.

Yes I've seen it. But by the time I've paid the bodyshop to molest the front wings it won't be so cheap. Think it might sell for a tad more yet!

Anyone know anything about Clubautosport. The GT spoiler will only work if it's a decent fit & reasonable quality. If it's thin enough for blue bottles to fly through at 100+ by the time it's been strengthend It will have cost too much. :cry:

It needs to be a good fit too. It's not just around the corner for me to pop in & have a look. Not sure how the lights will fit into it. Photos are too small & poor quality.

I can't say I've seen the quaility of Club Auto Sport's fibreglass, but they did a good job of fitting new sills & respraying my Porsche. They ain't your typical Porsche indipendent's with shiney floors, posh waiting room & clean overalls. Infact, it looks more like a breakers yard. But they know thier stuff. Ask John Brookes, he's good friends with 'em.

As for the S2 eBay bumpers. You could win them both, take the lights out of the genuine one, sell it on & fit the lights to the fibreglass one.

Thanks. I will give them a ring & see if they can explain it all. Just like the look of the GT front end. Think it suits it. £200 isn't cheap but if it rally does just bolt on with the original lights it will be a cheap job. Would really like some flush headlights to go with it...........

GTS or GTR very nice, saw these for sale on an american site, can't remember where tho'

J.J. · **Posted:** Tue Jan 29, 2008 7:16 pm

Lindsey racing do them. But with buckets & hardware. (Would have to buy the lights here or they would point the wrong way.) They are £250. Which is too much I think.
Spoke to Richard today from Club Autosport. Well he was very helpful. So have ordered the GT spoiler/bumper. Should get it into the paintshop in a week or so. Aparantly you just open the box & it fixes itself to the nearest car.

Very easy. :lol:

i may be talking out of my ar*e now but couldn't you fit the lights upside down to get the beam going the right way ?

Erm, yes

The bit that is supposed to kick up, would kick downwards if you turned them upside down!
