Default Front bumper question

I've been wondering that my front bumper is missing something. I'm not sure if the cooler should be exposed like this, or does ot suppose to have a grill???

^^^ Yep, that's it. You're also missing the right (passenger-side) brake duct grill. Don't feel bad. I went 6 months without realizing my car had no brake duct grill cutouts or grills. The PO had put a non-S bumper cover on my '85. What a goober.

I would start with 928 International and 928 Specialists for used... Or keep an eye on Ebay. Or Roger at 928s R Us may have new.

928 International has repro parts for the grill. I bought a center vertical piece. Not perfect, a few molding imperfections, but it fit nicely and works fine.
The few imperfections are only visible if you lay on the ground and get right up close.

Actually there is only one cover. For the S you need to cut out the brake ducts
