Bringing the 1968 911L back to Dark Metallic Green

[Maeter]

Good evening,

After owning my 1968 911L for about 7 years now, the process to return her to Dark Metallic Green (62109) has started! The rubber insert for the rear bumper deco has shrunk and will need to be replaced. It appears that you can purchase the insert only but there are two on most part websites, narrow and normal I guess? Since I wouldn’t know what I have, does anyone happens to know one or both of the dimensions so that I can attempt to order the correct one?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

your car has been repainted before
so you need to show what is on the car
maybe it is the wrong deco for a 911L.
I dont think you want to put the wrong decos on the car?

If a US spec L it should have the wider S deco trim. Also looks like you have earlier door frames with 65-67 fly windows.

1968 has the mostly aluminum opening door vent windows. And aluminum frame.
It is known as the last year for the coupe, tho continued with targa.

Rear picture attached…old one by the way, already returned exhaust etc to regular.

That’s L/S trim. Interesting 2 in 2 out custom exhaust. Your deck lid grill is a later style. Is the deck lid later style as well?

I’d be hard pressed getting rid of the gold even for, orig green met.

So, narrow or wide?

[bob joyce]

that is wide 911L and S
It is likely your car does have the engine lid with no center bar (late 1968 version)
