Front & Rear Bumpers, All years Options

[Pat Garvey]

OK - new nailed area.

There were quite a few variations in 914 bumpers through the years.

Think about it - special early rear chrome bumper (was this available in painted form?), chrome or painted, front/ rear tits (pardon), rubber. What about the fog/no-fog combinations?

Here is an original, concours 914 front end. This would be an "appearance pkg" chrome bumper w/fog lights, circa 1970/71/72. Car belongs to our moderator, Pat Garvey.

I know this is from a post of nearly a year ago (post #2), but, it seems that the "concours" front end might be subject to deductions for displaying incorrect turn signal lenses, for the configuration.

Can almost make out the amber corner of a euro rear lense, too.

Maybe the referenced post should be moved to the Garage Forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , or at least updated with a current correct photo, so as not to confuse the issue of what's original and what's not.

Wayne,

You make a valid point! That pic was taken somewhere in the 75-77 era, by someone who did not have my authorization or waiver to post ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ). Yes, my car did have euro fron & rear lenses at that point - looong gone. You didn't mention the chromies!

It DID look good though with those things on. Makes me think........

I'd post an update of the front, but the car's on stands until spring & not enough room to get a pic. Rear is back to stock lights (since about '78). I'd send a pic of that, but it's not too flattering with it's butt up in the air.
