Where to get Ruf CTR style front bumper for a Carrera...?

Hi:

Where is the best place to get a good quality fiberglass or urethane Ruf CTR style aftermarket front bumper...



Sorry waaaaay too lazy to search the archives.

Thanks

My brother has an orignal Ruf front spoiler with the center mounted oil cooler for sale.

I think he is asking $1,200

Brad at BW Motorsports in O"Fallon IL will take care of you. Brad is the guy that Souk set up the group buy with. He makes a Ruf Yellowbird front bumper with the fogs or with the brake ducts.

I bought one of them from Brad and it arrived with a crack in it. He did not hesitate to send out a call pickup to have the bumper returned to him and repaired it. I eventually sold it before mounting since I decided I didn't like the look. Nonetheless, Brad is top notch in my book. Others here will say the same about him.

+1, I installed a BW CTR f/r ~ '94 still looks good

Bill,

How was the fit? I've read various stories about fiberglass bumpers needing a lot of massaging. I have zero body panel experience and am wondering whether fitting CTR style f/r is something I could do myself or is best left to an experienced shop (i.e. a more expensive upgrade)?

Anyone knows where to find the lenses for the turn signals that fit with the Ruf front bumper? Thanks

My factory turn signals fit in my MA Shaw bumper. I assume the copies are all the same and the stock ones will work.
