914 LE part numbers, Where ?

[donporfi]

I am checking a 914 LE for originality.
Where can I find the front spoiler p/n 914.503.23510
Also where exactly on the right rear trunk can I find the fabrication number the one that should be the same as the one on the door plate (not the VIN).

Jeff Bowlsby has a pic of the part number on his Can-Am website:

http://bowlsby.net/914/CanAm/ -- click "914 LE - Limited Edition" in the frame on the left.

The number seems pretty large, so hopefully it will be obvious when you find it. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show exactly where on the spoiler it is. You might be able to ask him where; there is a contact link on the page.

Jeff also, elsewhere on his site, shows pictures of the various labels and such that are found on the 914. Click here

Front spolier # is dead center...big raised numbers on back side of spolier.

Passenger side rearmost trunk floor corrner...by the sway bar reinforcement plate.

Jeff,
Thanks for your answer.
The car seems to be original, the VIN is between the ones that should be, the date on the sticker is 02/74 also correct, paint code L80E. The side Porsche letters seem to be original, the color is a strange orange. I will take some pictures of it. I suspect the PO changed the spoiler, I cannot find the P/n, the mounting brackets are not in the right place, it is black, not white gel and painted orange. The covers for the headlight mechanism are grey. It has center console with three instruments. No Targa bar vinyl.

The fabrication number should be visible or I need to scrape some paint ?

The chassis # should be visible through the paint in the rear trunk. Youc an email directly through my website if you can send photos and the VIN.
