    Help identifying these Hella 169 covers

    Hello,

    I’m the second owners of a 1969 911 E that is pretty original example. The one item I have not been able to identify is the source of these Hella 169 covers/grills on my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The outer rim and mounting points made me think these were bought and not made but you could definitely be right!

    They look more generic or universal in their fit.
    Do don’t look perfectly fitting, like a direct fit hella product.
