The euro n/a bumper will fit on a turbo. The difference is the rubber strip is a bit taller on the turbo bumper. Also the turbo bumpers have a provision for a rear tow hook, the n/a does not. Make sure you get the euro bumper mounts also. The bumper shocks do not work.

This is a n/a bumper on my 951

So the retrofit deletes the bumper shocks and it mounts to bracket. Probably DOT illegal, doesn't the Euro spec have single bump shock ? I saw 2 brackets and 2 bolts on 944online. Their price is insane like 968 bumper retro fit price. I thought someone sold the kit brackets without the $750 951 Euro bumper so i can buy a UK bumper.

My car actually has a euro n/a bumper. The picture you posted sort of looks like a n/a bumper also, but its hard to tell from the angle.

I have seen euro bumper shocks but only certain markets got those. The most common mount you will find is the hard mount

There was a guy on Rennlist that was selling a ton of euro bumpers not too long ago, i would get in touch with him to get the brackets and euro bumper. I bought one probably 6-7 years ago off eBay.uk for no more than $300 shipped.

====================================
btw, Today A local seller has shown me the late rear spoiler with solid hoop trim vs the 4pc OEM for $450 total & it's New. Debating if i should get that updated spoiler, i will get a pic when i return to the shop, & meanwhile nice forum seller is hooking me up with US bump pad for fair price so that is resolved, still want euro bumper look, after all it's a German Spec LHD with the German lang. dash warnings.

I don't know if i like the wing painted red vs gloss black, but i feel that the hatch trim does look proper with gloss black around the glass, i would later do the mirrors and handles & paint those guards for sure , before install.

i will post comparison pics that i have of Euro bumpers because i'm still confused about na944 Euro bumper on 951 with Turbo valence.

I don't use rear tow, i use the front eye hook and KLA sells a chassis rear tow part, but i don't want to make it too EZ for a car thief

i plan to keep the 951 , bought it 10yrs ago in college so it has sentimental value.

Black trim with color matched wing looks best I think.
