So a very kind and wise 914World member did me the favor of offering his good condition chrome bumpers with extra foglights to me for the grand sum of $0 if i promised to install them on my 75 right away. I did as asked and have been very grateful.

Recently i purchased new stainless polished bumpers in search of always improving the car and have them installed now. I am going to make the same offer that Ralph did to whomever really will use them. They are 74 bumpers and would be nearly perfect if the bumperettes were installed. They photograph very well but they are not perfect so keep that in mind.

So who really needs them? Pics of current car and same promise required! You will need dogbomes as i kept mine.

Wow - that is very generous!

(I don't need them both hope they find a good home.)

-Steve

This place is an amazing community. I could not think of a better use for them. Keep the Carma going

Wow Bill, truly a great gesture. Don’t need them, but just wanted to let you know that this is very kind of you! Congratulations to whoever gets them!

Cheers!

wow! I would like it since my car is a 74 and maybe give away my painted black bumpers to another member.

Great deal.. my dad could use them but he is not ready for them.

I'd be up for those painted bumpers if they become available.. Wouldn't mind sweetening the deal with a few$$$.

The best folks are in this site.

Best site in the WWW and best people in real life!

I need bumpers!!! for my 74 so I can get rid of these fiberglass 916 ones. Those or I'll take ndfrigi's black ones, just want to get these fiberglass ones off for my GT tribute build

ndfrigi as you were first iwould be happy to send them to you provided you offer yours to whomever you like for the same price lol. PM me with your info.

Hi sir Bill @BillJ!
Thank you so much! And yes I can do same offer for someone who will really need it.

I will send you more info and hope shipping is not too much!

Stay safe and God Bless you!

Noel

Noel I'm your guy for your black ones.

Hello, I would love to offer it to you but Kent 76-914 was the 1st member who is interested. If he pass, you will be the next one sir.

Should not be too bad but anticipate to CA from NC should be around $60 maybe $100.

You will want fiberglass with the oil cooler hole...

Thx Noel. I appreciatr your integrity. Maybe I have something that you could use for your build as well. Now I'll be able to give the red '70 a new face. It came with a V8 and large opening up front. Since I've swapped a Subaru engine into it I can reduce the opening to the OEM oil cooler size that I have on the black 914. I bought the patch piece to weld in the front but have been waiting until I came across another front bumper. The rear bumper has a slight bend in it from a dent. I bondo'd the dent but the bumper reveals it was hit where it mates to the left side qtr panel. I still want to keep the yellow/green painted look so this is perfect. Thx again and PM me when the your ready to unload those bumpers. Kent

Click to view attachment Thank you again Noel and hopefully I have something in my stash you can use.

Okay Kent! We will see what will happen with my transaction with Bill.
We can meet half way when that comes. Oh, nice seeing you again last Idyllwild drive with fellow SoCal.

Sorry nditiz1 but if something change, I will let you know.

Bumpers are on their way! You will have to source dog bones and the hardware to mount potentially but you may have those already. They were a little heavy with the fog lights but not too bad for shipping across country.

Enjoy and pass on the CARma 914Worlders.

-Bill

Hi again Bill Jay @BillJ!
Thank you again for the beautiful chrome bumpers!
God bless you!

I was able to remove the painted bumper yesterday and test fitted them already.
Painted bumper is ready for Kent to pick them up.

The best 914world!

Nice overall exchange of parts!

Man ... this thread is the definition of fam.

Too cool…

Very Cool !!!!

I'm stoked that you are so close to getting another 914 on the road, Noel!!

This thread makes me miss 914 world, not just the site, but the world of 914ers.

Thanks buddy Larmo @Larmo63!
I know you like 911s but you love 914world guys!
I just got some motivation after Bill gave me those chrome bumpers and finally did something to my project again.
Hope I can do more soon to finish my project!

And again, thank you to 914world people!

@Larmo63 - We miss seeing you Lawrence. Might you consider attending WCR in SLO? Heck, drive the tail dragger.

Awesome!! And Noel is most deserving of these parts … way to go world !

Thanks Eddy (a friend all the way from Oregon). Stay safe there!

Huge DITTO on that!

GN

Keep the love guys.

Great job Bill. My original bumpers made it back out to California. Me and my 914 were out there from 1980 to 1985. How cool.

Now that I have the bumpers installed that Noel so graciously offered I have a pair to pass on to another member. They come as a pair and local pick up only. The front bumper has the std Renegade V8 cutout. Pics below:

Keep it rolling!!!

Have a 75 looking to backdate to painted bumpers!

Does anyone happen to have available a nice condition rear fiberglass bumper (or 2)? Need one for the black car.

Question I have is how are the new stainless steel bumpers? Do they fit properly? Can you post some pictures? Are you happy with purchase? Would you do it again?

Thanks guys. Jim

Hi Jim- I have seen several sets of the SS bumpers installed and all of the owners have loved them. They seem to fit very nice, as good as stock when I have seen them. Shop around for a good price and of course buy both at the same time to save on shipping (hopefully).

Bump to top for Bill!

Thanks for the bump. Buy from AA not direct from source is my advice. They are definitely gorgeous.

I need a fg rear bumper though and stat
