How fast are you going to go ? I too like #2. But the built in splitter in #1 is pretty clean.

Jocke,

I like them both but #2 looks the best.

How about some side rockers to match? I think that would make a world of difference for both front ends. The factory black rubber side moldings throw off the smooth lines of both front bumper covers.

Just my opinion.

Picture one is a GT2 bumper from BetterBodies. www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com

Picture two is some bumper from a racingcar that I have rebuilt to fit on my 930, it was a quit big work to build that bumper I have some pictures on the building on it if anyone find it interesting.

I'm gonna go against the crowd here and say I like #1. Normally I wouldn't put such a modern spoiler on an older car, but it works for me... Looking back at the photo's, #2 seems like it's too big for the car, proportionally it doesn't seem right..

BTW, The car is beautiful!

Number 2 defenitely. But maybe the air intakes for the front brakes would look nicer in white?

No question about that!

They where only primed when I took the picture.

It's probably just me, but I would love #2 if you could bondo in the license plate indentation and run without front plates. It would be a much cleaner look, IMHO.

Both spoilers look good on your car, but the only thing I'm concerned about is clearance. I knew I had seen the spoiler # 1 thru Betterbodies in San Diego, of which I was going to purchase the same one, but then I thought of how many times I would have to repair it from U.S. streets, speed bumps, etc. Since my car is lowered, I figured to be on the safe side I would go with the C2/C4 front spoiler, same as your picture #2.

Yes it´s probably a safer way to go with the C2/C4 Front Bumper, but the bumper in picture #2 is not a C2/C4 Bumper, it´s also a fibreglass Bumper.

Out of the fiberglass bumpers I like the C2 the best. But my favorite out of all of them is the stock bumper you started with.

Have you considered one of the Ruf style airdams like they used on the slope nose Carreras? They really improve the look of the stock bumper.

Personally I like the original. It could be the angle of the photos but in pics 1 & 2 the front looks too big. Almost a NASCAR look. Looks like a bolt on job rather than an integrated original look.

Maybe with the side skirts this would reduce the 'bigness' of the front end.

Just my 1c for what it worth.

#2 looks best to me!!

carnut169 · carnut169's Garage

Very nice car. You are going to hate my opinion (hey opinions are like *********s- everyone got one...)- but can you put the orig bumper back on?? That is the one I like the best by far. The others just look a bit bulky to me.

I still like the Ruf Spoiler on a classic 930 .

Jocke,
I think the c2 look bumper is the way to go. I would have to say pic#2.. i also agree with Harald on the RUF bumper on his car, it is a very nice look but I don't like that they are still making you use the orig. bumper and all because it's HEAVY and weight IS BAD!!!!!!! So stick with the c2 look fron on pic #2.

She looks better and better everytime i see he, Jocke you should ask Harald to post a pick of his SILVER Turbo flaired RS.. I am sure he would. It is ONE NICE looking car.... Please show us the silver car Harald, you know the one you e-mailed me pic's of, I think it will make you want to stick with pic#2 aswell.
