Thread: 'S' bumper trim rubber insert...which is original?

    'S' bumper trim rubber insert...which is original?

    I would appreciate hearing thoughts as to which of the rubber insert pieces on the rear bumper trim is original...the center rubber insert on the left has 'sharper' edges than the piece on the right which are more rounded. Thank you

    Just did a quick visual on mine...the item on the right looks closest to my original...

    For what year car? SWB S rubber is different from LWB. Also could you show the finished ends that would help.

    Here is a photo of the other ends...the fit and sealing of the rubber where they join is much nicer and almost invisible on the top piece (or left in the original photo). For that reason, I thought this was the original and correct piece. The union of the two rubber pieces on the lower trim is no where as nice. The trim on the bottom is what I took off my 70-S and the top piece are extras that came with my 73-S..just was not sure what was original or aftermarket. My 70-S is going back together and just want to put on what is correct and also has the best appearance. Thanks!

    You are right the, the one with more defined edges and smooth joint is original. IMHO

    Does anyone know where you can purchase just the finished rubber insert without the metal strip?

    Thanks

    More info - I'm looking for the bumper deco strip rubber inserts that would correct for a 65 911.

    I can't speak specifically to the 65 MY, but I've purchased the later 69 - 73 MY rubber inserts from PORSCHE.

    In the first picture the repro is on the right, notice how the insert is concave,,,,dead giveaway.
