Where do you get a front chrome 914-GT bumper notched for oil cooler?
Can you purchase them or do you have to have them made from a regular bumper?
Are there any steel valances notched for oil cooler and flared?

Thanks,

Bob Burton

About 2 years ago, I was looking for the same thing, had no luck at that time. I settled for a fiberglass valance that was flared and notched for the oil cooler inlet that was supplied from Getty. I believe that they have now sold off their 914 molds to MA Shaw, so you may also check with them.

As far as the bumper, I originally used the fiberglass notched bumper that was supplied when I purchased the valance, but was not too happy with such a lighweight bumper on a street car, so I modified my stock bumper. You can cut a notch on the bottom of the stock bumper, then weld in new metal to finish off the new opening. Mine was painted black, but with enough metal finishing, I'm sure you could get it plated as well when you're done.
