All back together now. The outer parts of the grille were pretty bashed about so I bit the bullet and brought in a pair of restored originals I found on eBay, the rest just needed a good clean. I really need to replace on of the headlamp bezels but that will have to wait until one turns up at less than £300

the trim on these cars is almost E body money these days it seems. Made a number plate mount so that it sits in the correct position which is very important when you're me...

Certainly is... Do you remember where you got the headlights? I'm looking but keep finding glass versions not acrylic

If you search for Wipac S6071 you'll find 'em.

Looking good blue, the bumper looks to be in great shape, which will save you a few quid 😀ðŸ‘

Nice work on the grille Blue,
I have done some work on mine but don't look as good, need to paint the black back in, looks better.

I'd forgotten quite how flimsy these grilles are when you strip them right down Ali. It's no wonder so many are damaged, but at least most of it is repro'd. Alway's one and a half eye's on the pound notes eh Rich
