Are these rear bumper strips rare? (85 Carrera))

[bkreigsr]

my 85 was wearing these when I bought it.
Are these the 'euro' strips?
Is there a market for them? (only the left side has the tow-hook access button molded in). thanks Bill K

Yes, those are from a ROW car. Rare over here, not rare across the pond. I'm sure they would sell. Just don't hope for huge money.

Cool.


I'm more curious about your reflector fill-in piece. Carbon Fiber?

[Swoboda]

They look very nice.

Are those euro pieces generally available?

Would they even fit a N/A car?

Thanks.

The bumpers strips are off a 930

yes they fit my 85 - its a US n/a car - not ROW. I'm guessing the PO had some bodywork done at some time and these were handy in the shop. Not sure how they are attached toward the center (- looks like they are glued). The fender end has the rubber grommet covering the sheet metal screw. Either way, they don't belong on a track car and as soon as I can figure out how to get them off........

My '87 Euro doesn't have the reflectors.

[Swoboda]

If you do wind up removing them, please let me know. I sent you a PM, too.

Thanks.

Nuts visible on the reverse side of the bumper blade - stick your head up underneath you'll see them
