I might actually get my 914 back soon!! - but then I’ll need to remember how to put it back together.

Here’s a pic of the front bumper in-work. The lower valence will be flared and have the lower section of the oil cooler opening.

So, I’m having a rough time deciding on the bumper color.

Body color, black, or green to match the green “Porsche” graphic going on the side (front valence and rockers will be black). I like all options.

Here are a few sample pics I’ve found.

I think I’m liking this direction: green graphics and bumpers. Maybe paint the horn grills green also.

I like your green bumper black valence and rockers.. looks slick, but i dont like the green pedals and black background and polished barrels on the wheels. Wheels look best in orig pic, green pedals and background, polished or anodized barrels.

Other option is to paint the bumper black or body color and wrap with green, gives you an option to go back to in the future…

Really liking the green treatment in post 305. Not so much 311. You asked

Really like 306. Best painted bumper scheme I’ve seen. Only one I like actually. Maybe better than chrome.

Thanks for the input. I don’t like the wheels either, but wanted to see what it looked like.

Yep, I asked - thanks for the input. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Considering the RSR finish on the wheels also.

I like the green on everything but the wheels. But wheels are wheels, easy to have more than one set for changing moods and uses.

Nice fab work on the inlet. I keep feeling I should’ve done that on mine, I guess time will tell.

That bumper opening looks very 914-8 like. Having done a few hundred now I see the difference

Thanks. I must give credit where it is due, Greg, the guy working the body back to perfection is doing an excellent job. He’s built many great cars, but this is his first Porsche.

After the body and paint are done, I get to start working on it again - can’t wait

We decided to make the opening radius a little smaller to match what has been done on the valence. - it looked a little too large.

Just mixed the the green this morning. This is for the bumpers and side graphics; the color in the pic is a little off - should be Viper Green M6C.
