New Ride , ... New Problems! :)

First off, picked up a new car., 88 Carrera Diamond Blue with Grey dash door tops etc, very cool combo. Like I needed another one but hey it's a buyers market out there!

70K, runs flawlessly, SSIs. And a couple of other goodies. No clue what the front bumper is but I had it painted and it turned out really nice the shop did a great job matching the color etc. The original bumper had a bunch of dings and chips and looked poor so this new bumper that came with the car was a no brainer to install and paint.

Headlights not working- Damn headlight switch , tracked that issue down.
After-market Stereo mess. Amp under the seats subs and changer in the trunk and some crazy eq in the glove box that will be getting some serious removal time.

So thats it and here are some pictures , any tips on what that front bumper is would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Jon W.

Yes, that is a valance intended to replicate the Ruf CTR front bumper. I am putting a fiberglass CTR front bumper on my diamond blue metallic '87 targa right now.

Nice car!!!
