I'm sure it's probably been discussed before but I can't find it.

Have the chrome fog light grills always been plastic or were some of them pot metal? Seems to me the early ones were pot metal.

Legend has it there were some early metal ones. I tried making the aluminum ones but the finishing costs killed it. Instead we made new plastic ones. The ones you speak of I believe were the fog light delete.

Yes, early ones were metal like 911's.

Really! In all these years and countless Teens Ive messed with Ive never seen a Metal version. Not saying they didnt exist just ...?

I’ve seen pictures of them
But very very rare

914114 Brad said these are metal

My first 2 Sixes had metal foglight grills- they were both 1970 cars. I have yet to find metal grills since.

I also had metal on my early 6 and early 4 both

The early 1970 914 1.7 I scrapped had plastic grills that the chrome was blasted badly. Not metal at all so maybe a few 69 914/6's?

My 6 was a 70 built in 1969

My 70 was VIN 4702902960 and did not have them. Yes, I remember the 14 prototype having metal grills but that's a prototype car.

I had metal ones on one of my 914s
