My friend needed his air ducts, and my originally ones wouldn't fit, so I don't have air ducts behind the bumper. Personally, I don't mind.

Which aluminum part? Sorry, unsure which part your referring to. But I did not cut any aluminum off.

Yes, this is the exact front look which I want, except my side skirts will be slightly more agressive. Amazing looking car

what i was referring to is the actual aluminum bumper, that is under the polyurethane bumper cover, if you take a look at Redridges avatar in this thread you can see it(but just the rear one...) i just heard that it protrudes hence being visible through the front grill), and needs to be painted or cut...just wanted to confirm which....

Yes, for me the rebar underneath, I had to swap it with my friend's Turbo because mine was too long and the turbo bumper couldn't fit. However because my car is a Canadian spec car and his was a US car, that might have something to do with it not directly fitting as well. So yes, his piece was a little shorter so potentially you might have to do some cutting.

I'm surprised....I never would have thought an OEM 996 Turbo bumper would fit a 996 C2.....

It's actually an OEM bumper I bought off a fellow 6speeder.
