Can anyone tell me if a Chrome Exhaust Tip was "Stock" on a 72/73 - 1.7 car?
Was it just left painted gray? Was this considered a "Dealer" option? Where would you get one today? Any pictures? Thanks! |

I am trying to locate one, and would like to know what it looks like. |

I bought my 1.7 73 new. No chrome tip. It was just gray. If what to add one, your local FLAP should be able to help.

Umm Gents...
Chrome exhaust tip was a Porsche part...dealership option from 1972. You can find something similar at FLAPS if you really feel the need. See Accessories catalog here: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/zBro_72USA3.pdf Attached image(s)

See Accessories catalog here: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/zBro_72USA3.pdf Sorry, t was NOT stock in'72. A stock part would be something you could opt for from the factory. The dealer could claim "stock" for anything. The Contrariun |

Not in that book.
I have the info here: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Accessories.htm Most were aftermarket, the KARO brand is in the parts catalog, a factory part. |
