Bodywork...Grill color
POLL-should i paint the grill and aluminum pieces black or leave them as they are?
 Just so everyone knows (becuase i didnt) when doing a turbo nose swap to a 944 you need a turbo nose panel too, i found out the hard way with the body shop calling and asking if its the right bumper for the car, i ran out the next day before work and luckily found one off a black 951, and get this the front bumper was still intact wand was in great shape, if anyone wants a turbo nose you could prolly pick this one up pretty cheap, theres also a good rear valance at the junk yard too, if anyone wants the stuff just let me know. -Heres a pic of the $50 turbo nose, 944 ecology wanted 200 plus shipping so i think i got quite a deal. I have the rest of the pictures on the website and you can see the gap of the turbo bumper with N/A nose.  I also threw up some new links and films on the site if anyones interested.-all the best-chris

Are the headlight covers the same?
The person who I got my car from removed the bumper bar so he could push the nose cone in to suit (IDIOT)

Im having the "fenders" cut to fit the turbo bumper, the light covers do line up, so the only body pieces that need to be replaced is the nose panel and turbo bumper-chris
