Porsche 914 & 914/6 Badges & Emblems: "P O R S C H E" Engine Grille Letters

As with the 911 models of the era, all U.S. specification Porsche^® 914 and 914/6 vehicles were delivered from the factory with block "P O R S C H E" lettering across the engine grille  In line with the VW-Porsche joint marketing, European specification cars do not have engine grille "P O R S C H E" badging. Similar to the rear badges, the finish and material used for the engine grille insignia changed several times although the style and dimensions remained constant.

Each of the seven letter emblems is exactly 48mm long, 20mm high and 3mm thick. Each is attached to the engine grille by two 10mm rear prongs secured with speed nuts. Spacing of the letters across the engine grille is detailed at right (third picture down). Note that exact spacing is impossible to achieve, because one is constrained by the spacing of the actual grille openings.

U.S. specification Porsche 914 & 914/6 automobiles produced for model years 1970-1972 were all equipped with gold-anodized aluminum engine grille letter emblems.

P914 is currently offering original gold-anodized aluminum engine grille letter emblem for sale. Details are available in the SALES section.

1973 Porsche 914 models came with chrome-silver anodized aluminum engine grille letter emblems.

Porsche 914 vehicles produced for model years 1974-1976 came from the factory with chrome-silver plastic engine grille letter emblems, presumably as another cost-cutting measure. Visually, they are identical to the 1973 chrome-silver anodized aluminum "P O R S C H E" letters (picture pending).
