Turbo Bumper Installed [pics]

I Wish to thank everyone who posted info on the install on here and Renntech. I got a doner bumper off a 03 Turbo in mint condition (all vents, lips, eyebrows, etc). Was able to find an excellent bodyshop locally to paint the bumper and did the install myself.

Before....


got the stock bumper off...


fitted the tubo bumper to make sure


so far so good




The gap in the middle


Freshly Painted


looking good so far


checking to make sure the headlight works and everything is together

Looks good!
How are you addressing the gap at the bottom? and, are you using the radiator's ducts you used to have or did you change those?

Congrats. I have the same bumper and think it greatly improves the front end. Now you need a rear wing to balance out the car and keep the aerodynamics in check. I have a modified turbo rear bumper that I have been planning to install but have not gotten around to. Your post has inspired me to get off my duff and get it done.

Great Job

I have a sheet of plastic to cover up the gap at the bottom (its only about 4 inches wide), its not too bad of a fit. There is an OEM part that will also cover it up and I may go that direction. Or I may just put in a 3rd radiator in there.

The stock radiator ducts fit fine. There is a minor gap towards the top but I think its fine.
