Has anyone chrome wrapped 914 bumpers, or for that matter in any color? I'd think it would be fairly easy and much cheaper than buying new, stainless steel, or re-chroming.

Look for a wrap guy that also does window tint or something similar to make sure they have experience with not distorting. Wrapping color is no big deal, some kind of squeegee and a heat gun and it’s a DIY job. Chrome wrap is the most difficult to do and many pros mess it up. They usually carry it though as there’s plenty of cars that chrome wraps in various colors. Helps too that if it looks bad, generally they’re redo it or fix it at their cost which if you did it yourself you’re out a sheet and getting the adhesive off is a PITA.
