Radiator Grill Update
Thought that I would get rid of the old grill (not the old girl, she's still with me!) and bring the car into the 70's! I thought the AA badge just sets it off nicely. What do you think?

Wonderful!
Now you just need to replace the rear end of the car with a timber frame and the badge will look grand!

I gather you dont approve? OK, the mesh grill is not actually sitting in the front cut out but its close enough such that you dont notice from a few metres away.

Apologies David, no offence intended, each to his own

No offence felt. I had removed the grill for a deep clean of the crap around the grill and just blue tacked the badges onto a piece of grill material I had in the workshop. It wasnt intended as a permanent "upgrade" but I thought i might get a few bites from the forum ...... All will be restored to OEM tomorrow.
