just a sugestion as those grills seem to be very rare could you neatly cut the inner hole bigger & use the 131 sport backing plate upside down, might be worth a try.

You must be right. It was our conclusion with Blogger after studying some detailed pictures.

Will try to do it.  I could use an new set of Racing headlights thgough.

I have a spare standard grill in pretyy good shape to experiment with.

Thanks

Oh, so you are the CAT !

Simon,  tell me about your grill.

I have been looking for such grill for some time. Is this original or has it been modified?

It looks almost like standard grill I have with lights from Racing flipped over, but the small lights look smaller than the ones form racing. 

Tell me about the grill you got, please... or maybe you gave a spare one ?

I agree with gay131lover. To have a go at someone's work is terrible, if you haven't got something nice to say then don't say it at all.  Just a thought  ;)

I only voiced my opinion on the grill and not the car.It doesn't matter what car it is,but surely one could do a better effort on the cutting out of the grill to fit around the headlights.I didn't mean to offend anyone ;).Eugene

I would have to agree with you gay lover, I would not take the P out of any man's workmanship. This work for this man, is probably the best he could do. Anyway the overall picture is at least he has a gem of a car there. I don't think any of us should be judge and jury. We all love our cars.

Spot on Gay131lover and bren and Chris there are too many people who look for faults in another mans efforts but with such keen eyes looking at this have you noticed that this is not a road car (cut slicks etc.). Well how many people race mint cars in this world ::) ::) ::), hopefully the proud owner of this car never sees the insults made about his pride and joy....

So,

What about the grill on Simon's car. Looks perfect to me.

Anybody knows where to get an original like this ?
