Turbo Bumper Parts

I recently picked up an '07 turbo bumper to facelift my 05 C2S . Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on the fogs, drls and grilles. These were not included in the sale . Please help ... Thanks

May be a stupid question, but....have you tried Ebay? And there is always the local Porsche Stealership. Suncoast usually has the best prices from my searches, and I believe they are a board sponser to boot. I know you posted a WTB on 6speed parts section already. No luck yet I take it?

Ive checked ebay and found the left and right grilles for around 190 each. I also found the fog lights on there. I havent found the Turn signals or center grille yet. Also I saw on here that a LED DRL is in the works so maybe ill just hold out for that . Also I figured maybe someone would have something laying in there garage and I could get a good price on it. Im in no rush for this project so trying to explore all options.

you will also need the wheelwell liners from the turbo, as the ones from your C2S are not wide enough to meet the edges of the front bumper. Just to clarify, its not a matter of the turbo bumper lining up and fitting your C2S, its just a matter of the lower portion of the turbo bumper being slightly wider than your stock bumper.

Good luck with this. I've been searching for fog lights on this and other forums, ebay, etc. with no luck? They are pretty expensive new but that may be the way I end of going.

I have all the parts necessary (fogs, LED turn signals, all 3 grills, and wheel well liners) bought new at the dealer. IMO new is the way to go. For just a little more money than Ebay or classifieds deals, you have the peace of mind everything is in new condition, and not relying the seller's description.

The only thing holding me up on my update is the rear bumper -- I want to fit the turbo rear as well, a la 996 C4S, but I'm worried about the work involved to line up the exhaust tips. If this doesn't pan out, I'm leaning towards a 997.2 GT3 front/rear conversion with a ducktail.

TT Bumper

I did it. Bought all the parts from one person.
Rear bumper that I bought can be fitted but the exhaust doesnt line up and cant be moved either. Tried cutting the bumper, that didnt work either.

I have a 997 Turbo bumper, I was going to put on a C2S, are you saying the exhaust tips won't align properly in the exhaust opening?
