1975 Bumpers weight reduction, Bumper modification Options

[jmig615]

Hello Everyone.

I just purchased a 1975 -914 and it comes with the very heavy front and rear bumpers. I need to reduce weight on the car. Is there a way to remove the metal backing of the bumper and just install the rubber covers only or do I need to find different bumpers?

I saw posts for fiberglass bumpers and posts for lighter chrome bumpers.

I did a quick search on the site but couldnt find what I was looking for.

Thanks,

Joseph

Check out the drawings for the Euro versions. They don’t have the heavy shocks. You could probably copy them or find a used euro one on ebay.
