Hi,

I have an ex-Italian market car (Aug 73). Italian, French and Swedish cars came without the rear fog light and have no cutout in the body for one so I cannot switch to the German market one. Does anybody have a source for the cover panel?

Original panel is in otherwise good condition but one idiot previous owner drilled the license plate through the panel directly into the body...

Thanks

I can only kindly remind to be waiting for your feedback in regards to fog light. So far no feedback from You despite your assurances received in the past. :(
 
Keep in mind chrome vs aluminum. Euro was probably chrome, regardless, chrome just looks better as it matches the bumper and bezels.
 
I remember discussion with @HB Chris

It was mentioned aluminum were used in later E9s while metal, chromed were used in 2800cs and early cars without fog light.

I have found steel, chromed with opening for the fog light which could be "interim" version.

For sure chromed steel better matches taillight's frames despite of model year compliance.

Hope I haven't mixed something up.

Hi, thanks, looks like I need a chrome Euro one without foglight. Got one and what's your price?
 
The aluminium one is about 170 grams, the chromed brass weighs 600 grams. Just so you know.
My guess is that @Candia4441 parts are both Alu. Which isn't a bad thing in itself; they are almost half a kilo lighter!

Brass+Chrome above, Alu below. Notice the delta in the angle of the side walls in the 3 screw points; steep angle in chrome, less angle in the ALU version in bottom of pic.

Trim between taillights - chrome or aluminum?

Isn't lighter better?

Went to the garage to check. My panel comes in at 680grams, so it can't be aluminium. Therefore I'd need one in chromed brass, Euro style, no foglight. @Candia4441 you got one?

Hello, yes I do have one, it is not the brass one I think it is aluminum there are 2 kind one is brass and it is heavy that is on my 71- 2800cs but on my 73-3.0cs it is aluminum and very light, that's the one I have, let me know if you want it.
 
Why are buying from USA?
Have you spoken with the group in Germany? Last I checked they were available.

Because i need the one without the cutout for the fog light as my car is ex-Italian. No opening in the body as well. I've not yet asked locally as I thought I'd have more luck internationally :)
 
I think it’s available?
