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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Thank you Tom !! As always you are so helpful, thank you !!
I actually found a NOS set of Euro front lenses here in Japan on the Yahoo Japan auctions (similar to EBAY) and the bodyshop who is taking care of the work and insurance details bought them for me, they cost around 125 for the pair but I am not paying for it. My bumper is fine but got scratched a bit and will be repainted and the LE spoiler craked but will be repaired as its fiberglass. The rubber on top took the most damage. The front left fender will be repainted. Plus the bodyshop said they will fix a small dent in my door that was there before for free so that is good news. Glad the person who hit me had good insurance. I even have this little courtesy car I am driving now till my teener comes home Right now I am doing some research and finding prices on parts for the adjuster, the expensive prices are better for me as I can show this and ask for this amount. I actually just placed an order with Mikey914 at rubber.com recently so maybe if I hurry up I can ask him to squeeze the bumper rubber in there. |
