    Will turbo bodykit fit C2S

    Mates,

    I'm sure this question might have been posted to infinity but just could not find the tread through the search functions.

    I would like to fit the front and rear turbo bumper to my C2S ( now fitted with aero kit) and would like to know if they fit or may need modifiations. Would appreciate and comments or suggestion to the fitments and any specialist which are able to supply the parts.

    Also would like to ask if the turbo front is any lower than the aerokit front bumper?

    Cheers.

    Not sure about the front but the rear will definitely not fit as the Turbo is wide bodied and the C2s is not.

    The aerokit front bumper is definitely lower than the Turbo's. Almost every car I've seen with this bumper has gotten it's front lip scraped whereas it's easier to avoid getting that with a Turbo.

    I went to design911.com of UK and apparently the turbo front bumper is for sale and could fit. So is the rear spoiler BUT not the rear bumper.

    If what you mention is true that the aerokit is much lower than the turbo, chances are I 'm going for it.

    Cheers, and hope to get mnore feedback as well.

    Fits without much issue, there may be some internal issues regarding radiator mounts/etc, but not a big deal.

    Just be aware that by chopping and changing various body parts you will be affecting the aerodynamics and balanace of the car......there may be a stability issue especially at high speeds.

    Has anyone in this forum done this. Would be great to see some pics.

    Not trying to imitate as a turbo but feel that the front end really looks much better than stock and the aerokit (always damage cause too low) I have.

    I would also like to know if the Turbo (TT) front bumper fits, my C2S look a bit dull in the front, I love the aggressive look of the TT. If it fits count me in.

    Cheers,

    Just took delivery of 430 and surprisingly it sits much higher than the aerokit. hopefully the turbo kit is the same.

    Wow,

    Looks very cool.. Looks pretty low to me, do you curb it often?

    Is it a C2S or C4S?? Price for the front bumper??

    Re: Will turbo bodykit fit C2S

    There's something wrong with this "conversion" idea (C2S ---> TT).

    I'm not criticising anyone for liking it or wanting to do it, but I'm advising that anybody who does it is going to look silly in the minds of most Porschephiles.

    Gotta tell ya, if I see one on the streets I'm probably gonna involuntarily devolve into an episode of temporary ahole-ism and blow it off the road with my real TT. Don't take it personally: it's hormonal.

    Here's a Boxster to CGT "conversion."

    Re: Will turbo bodykit fit C2S

    Hi I Had a 997 c2s cab which I fitted a Turbo front bumper,turbo rear bumper and turbo boot spoiler The rear bumper needs modifing slighty, the boot lid spoiler fits ok but the fan need moving 15mm and if you keep the stock air box you will need to mod it because of the spoiler ram, The front bumper fits but you need a modified bumper wiring loom and need porsche to activate the led indictators I have all these items sitting in my garage as i removed them when i had my new turbo hope this helps

    Gornalad,

    Thanks for sharing. Can you post some pics please?

    Also do you have to change the rear muffler or keeping the PSE or Original?

    Also you mind sharing how much it cost you to do the whole conversion? And who supply you with the kits, is it Porsche?

    Many thanks mate.

    You considering selling?

    Gornalad - you did a fine job.

    I'm surprised at the negative-verging-on-hostile reaction this modification is getting.
    What will we say when Porsche do the same for the facelifted C4S..?
