Narrow body to Widebody conversion

I have a '85 911 with a narrow body. I'm planning on putting 930 fenders on the front and the flares on the back. Also adding a tail. I'm planning on welding the flares on. The tail should bold up.

Do I have to change my front and/or rear bumpers and valances?

I'm going to add a chin spoiler too. The 930 part number and the 911 part numbers are different but would either one work?

Bumpers are the same, but the metal section that attaches to the bumper bellows and the fender are specific to turbo fenders.

Ok. The front and rear valance should be good. The front bumper should be good except for the bumper bellows need to be replaced. What about the rear part and the rocker under the door?

These areas are my questions. See pic......

No new bumpers or bellows required.

Many aftermarket front turbo spoilers come with integral front extension to fit to the existing bellow. You will need Rear Turbo Extensions to properly mate the rear turbo flare to the existing bellows. No new bumpers or bellows required.


Here's a 930 type airdam and rear turbo extension...

The green arrows you have placed in front of the front wheels are pointing to the front valance which will need to be replaced. The bellows are the same. Rockers are different and as RickM has indicated, the rear quarter extensions need to be replaced to match the turbo quarters. There are also small things like a right rear deck lid hinge that allows for a second deck lid shock to be used if you are adding a deck lid with a tail. Check your car for the bracket on the body where a right side shock would attach. It will be opposite the left side deck lid shock mount. It should be there on an '85 but I would check it out to be sure.
