I bought one of the new rear rubber tops from 914rubber and the weather warmed up enough this week to venture out to the garage to fit it
The trouble is that it doesnt align with the rear bumper I have fited Are there more than one shape of bumper? 914rubber only shows the one type of top so would that fit all steel / chrome rear bumpers? I took a few photos to illustrate my problem, there is a locating bolt in the middle of the rubber top but there isnt a corresponding one in the bumper itself thanks for any pointers David    |

Your signature block indicates a 75 car, so if this is the same car the bumper has been backdated and you don’t have the chassis mounted bracket. Which also explains having the wrong license plate lights.
But the rubber trim should otherwise fit the bumper shape identically. |
