Anyone out there paint there bumpers the same colour as their car?
I put 916 FG bumpers on my project car and the look is Ok but I don't recall seeing anyone with their conventional bumpers painted to match the car colour. I like to see pictures if possible. |

  Original "from the factory" paint. Early cars (70-72) without appearance group option had body colored bumpers. |

And this one in Light Ivory, I think that light colored 914s looks best with the vinyl sail trim so I'm going to attach that to this car but the bumpers looks great (and the chrome bumpers is to expensive)
