Yes, they can be updated. It would take some work to do so.
- You could cut the appropriate holes and attach the late-style bumper shocks to mount the late-style bumpers. - You could locate the European-spec bumper frames for the 75-76 914s. - You could fabricate a bumper frame that bolts onto the earlier body and carries the rubber cover. Depending on the frame used, you might be able to get away with not adding the lip that retains the edges of the cover. Most of us seem to prefer the early bumper looks, but I know that there are a number of people who like the late-style ones better. The front bumper, in particular, carries on the line of the front deck lid and makes for a bit more integrated appearance. There are also fiberglass versions of the late bumpers made. It might be easier to mount those than the actual late-style rubber covers. --DD |
