Mystery overriders

jamie · Post by **jamie** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 8:37 pm

I bought these the other day to put on my car, but it turn-out they're to fit a slightly different bumper:

Can anyone tell me what 911 they are off?

I might buy a Dremel and butcher them to fit, since they were cheap and will tide me over till I can get some new ones.

Looks like a STD front US bumper overider as fitted to 911t's etc.

Don't US cars have the same bumpers as Euro cars? From the shape of the cut-out in these overriders, it looks like they are for a bumper with a shallower rubber lip and perhaps a chrome strip along the front.

Hi Jamie, that type is for the narrow bumper trim ie)none S trim.

Do you want a set for S bumpers? I may have some.

Nick, I'd be interested in a set for my 73 911T which I think has the larger rubber trim. I'm also after some back ones.

Scott - I'm sure I have a spare pair for the rear if Nick hasn't.

Andy, Yeap would be interested in a pair of back ones. What condition are they in? Do they have the rubber strips on?.... let me know how much.

Cheers

I have a stack of these in the shed.. some rough some NEW NOS I am not sure how I keep getting all this stuff

Standard ones I think if no one else on here can help you I know I have a load of them..

Now your ones you have I think are repro's as they have the solid back to them as per the picture. Orginal ones had a plastic back ( I am sure Andy will tell me if I have got this the wrong way round.. )

but then I am remebering that the later ones had this...... Andy tec bod there is a difference I can't remeber what though...

These are mine. I found them. There's a bit of surface rust on the inside and sime bubbling on the bottom. They're not as good as I remember them. They fit S bumpers.

Kind of lost track of the topic - looks like I need S-bumper overriders (although my car doesn't have an S-bumper?!). Anyone have some available?

Nick those should buff up nice on a polish machine..

Nick,

Do you have front and back ones you're getting rid of? Am looking for some good ones, but as 912uk says if they would buff up ok I could be interested.

Scott.
