I have two 914s, one sits outside and one is a garage queen, until I get a new garage built for the cars.
The chrome on the plastic letters I have are flaking and basically degrading.
Does anyone know of a vendor that makes them out of metal? Not to worried about cost, so long as it's not astronomical. I just want something that will stand the test of time and the plastic ones aren't doing that.

After a long hiatus I am going to start machining them again

Correct for most cars is silver, 72 is Gold!
