That looks nice, are you going to replace the indicator grill sections too?
and is that a new rubber round the grill, if it is where did you get it from please?.

Very nice.........I have a 98 with the horizontal splitter and was thinking of a grill behind that but not directly on the rad, if you see what i mean. Anyone done this, would appreciate piccies and idea of how easy to do. Ta

Hi Jamie

Going to live with it for a bit and see how I feel. Certainly going to do the bonnet vents though. Thats the old rubber and we just cleaned it up with some white spirit. I will be replacing the 2 ugly screws with something nice, once I find it what nice is!

I tried an orange grill to match my stripe, looked bloody awful!


OT, have the facelift chims a mesh in front of the rad as standard?

No they don't - just a gaping hole. Often think I should put something in the void on the Cerbera but so far nothing has gotten through. Must run off and hug that tree now!

Very nice.

I'm planning something similar this winter, did you cut the mesh yourself or can I order one somewhere? Thanks

Mesh behind the horizontal numberplate bar? I thought yours was pre-facelift? Really must try to keep up smile

Now that looks good Tony ... and I have to say that if it's possible to do the bonnet vents then brilliant as I get so many leaves going through mine and then burning off the exhausts after a couple of minutes that it's silly - I sit at the bottom of Tollgate Road in the mornings with smoke billowing out from under my bonnet as the leaves cook off! biggrin

I had the body shop cut it to shape using the old as template. The mesh wasn't cheap but as close as I could find to the old Bentley's!

Phil, you've seen where I live so imagine how many leaves I get down there! How are you getting along?

Not sure I'm allowed to post link to where I bought it but guess I'm about to find out!

I have no connection to them.
