One of mine has black too... because someone changed them. As Eric says, all '70 -6ers have (had) white surrounds.

Does anyone have any info or pictures of the 21mm wheel spacers used on the M741 option...Thanks
Also on the headlight surounds....I've found a number of early 70/71 914-4 with white surounds painted black...not sure if the dealer or owner did it....but they were done pretty well as the paint was just barely flaking off around the edges.....
origional 914-6 head lite surrounds are white, # 914-6 0011 are basic white finish and then were painted by factory to provide a whiter cream finish, black surrounds came later believe in 1972 as a production change when white was phased out
Another common thing was to paint em body color, The white surrounds looked bug eyed to most people. Its always been hard to find white ones not painted some other color.
From the 1969-70 sales brochure. They obviously used both black and white shrouds, so was it by model or not? :confused:

The 914s were sold with an "appearance group" I wonder if the black surrounds were part of it?

Thanks Guys.
Those are just standard 7 & 8's with 215/60-15 and 195/65-15 tires. Studs are 100mm up front with spacers and 74mm in the rear with 7mm spacers.
Hey 914-6 guys... it's alloy rear caliper time!
