Red face Ohhh no, no.

Surely you can't be serious...
I should have specified, the REAR bumper.. Hehehe.
I've seen a rear bumper on e-bay for some time already but recently they dropped the price from around 1.400 to about 1000 usd.
Still is a little painful but I may do it.

God, no... I'm not changing the RUF front bumper!

As for the Tiptronic .. steering wheel...
Well, I know... It doesn't match but he.. I looks a lot better than the stock one..
Maybe some day I'll find a use for those buttons... Wishfull thinking..

Pictures

Just looking thru the pictures....I read about these turbo mods but dont see any pictures of how it is installed, especially the twin turbo...Some of us are not that talented...how about making our mouths water with some photos of the mod itself.....Please

And "Gary in BR" I notice the wheels you have on the car look the same as the ones that are sold on EBAY. Do you like them? How did they fit? Any problems with rubbing? Did you use spacers? And what size tires did you go with...


Thanks guys!!!

Chris

details

Hi,

If you run a quick search on this forum looking for "Tale of my Twin" you'll find my previous post which has some more detailed pics of the parts. Unfortunately I did not take the time to make my own step by step documentation on the installation.. Indeed it is not the easiest thing but I found the hardest part right at the beginning (replacing the injectors). After this it was much easier for me.

Mine are the Miro Alts they are sold on Ebay and I did get them from there. I like them alot and they fit with no problems. No rubbing at all but I did install 7mm rear spacers just for the looks.

I think I am running 225-35 and 285-30 if you are getting ready to buy a set I will get the exact size I am running.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
