Unfortunately my neighbor accidentally backed his car into my 914 last weekend and caused some damage. Its not too bad but will need to be repaired by the insurance and I need a new rubber piece for the front bumper (my car is a 72), the bumper will be repainted along with the front left fender and need a new lens too....

Are the rubbers bumper pieces still available new? Can't seem to find one here. Was looking for a new or mint OEM piece if available...I also need to prove the value of the part as well for the insurance adjuster...

I am still in shock, just got the car on the road 3 weeks ago and this happens

Not exactly sure what you are looking for Jamie but I suspect it is the bumper "top" rubber not the tits on the front? If so, Mikey914 has reproduced them and they should be available through 914Rubber.com.

Oh, and they are pretty much perfect...

Car was never on jackstands. It was a good solid car that I brought over from Canada to Japan and it took 3 years of time and much money to pass the strict inspections here in Japan and than the paperwork and the fees for the inspection were a lot of money. When I finally passed I was so excited and even won the rights to 914 license plates in Japan. I drove it only a few times and than my neighbors wife who is in her mid 70's backed her Toyota into it while trying to park in her spot. My car was parked next to hers. Her insurance will cover it but I need to show proof of how much everything is. I am very sad now and in shock and your little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) smile mark in your quote doesn't make me feel any better. Thanks
