Porsche refective strip

Hi, Can anyone help. I'm restoring a 74 G series and am seeking a near as perfect original "Porsche" reflective strip that runs across the back of the car. Can anyone advise if this part changed during the course of production through to the late 80's..?
Thanks, Pete

I think the guys over on Impact Bumper could answer this much easier that the guys on this forum - ask there also? I don't know the answer.

It changed for the G50 cars in 1986 for 87 MY to incorporate the fog and reverse lights.

Early reflectors were bolted on, later were held on by push fittings. Porsche now only supply one reflector, it has the studs to bolt on and the push fittings so can be used on either early or late cars (we are talking about pre 1986 cars, 1987 model year had internal fogs, no reverse lights though!!)

The chance of finding a good used one are slim to none as the paint degrades on the back making them look patchy.
