I had a 3 Door X reg when I were a lad.  It too was a series 1, had the oval instruments and everything. It was the cross over year though I believe.

voted oem mate, if you had a reiger kit that quattro bonnet would suit well. also imho that late model grill dont do it any favours with the retro body kit, cant you get a 13 slat grill for it?

Fair enough...  :wink:

The later cabby grille is on because it matches the lines of the valance.  I'm kind of looking for a period one at the moment at the right price. To see how it looks.

What you could really do with is an aftermarket grill maybe, I know it would be hard to find.

What sort were you thinking?

I found all sorts from South Africa but they never got back to me.  Wanted to know if they would ship to UK and if their stuff would fit a UK spec car.
