Default Does the Z06 bumper fit to c6?

Unfortunately I had an accident with my C6 last week. The front bumper must be changed, but meanwhile I got the idea if I could change it with the Z06 bumper? I have to pay anyway, I can pay some more. But I live in İstanbul, Turkey so I have to order the bumper but I am not sure if it fits to my C6. Does anyone have an idea?

Due to the fender flare at the front the Z06 bumper won't fit. I'm sure it could be made to fit but it's not a bolt on.

I think the fenders are wider on the Z06 (at least they appear to be) as well so you would have some alignment issues. The Z06 fenders are carbon fibre so you'd be lookng at some serious $$$.

and plan on spending some serious cash for the 'fit' as well as for the bumper.

Probably better off staying OEM.

The Zo6 is 3.3 inches wider than the C6 at the fenders and has 1.0 inch more over hang, dont know if it will work.

I guarantee it fits. The Z06 IS a C6.

It will fit but might look weird without the proper fenders !

So we are not sure again. I don't think the fenders are wider but it is possible of course. If I could fit it somehow, do you think it would look weird?
