Replacement grille.

I've seen a lot of horrible sheet steel grilles, but this one looks quite good:

Hmmm looks quite fetching (on a small pcture). It might look really shonky up close though.

Yep, I reckon he really has been busy with his drill.
The grille is described as:-
'modified genuine Land Rover part - hand finished'
I bet he drills then overpaints in Silver I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Wouldn't be so sure.



And the ebay one:



Isn't the D3 one flush? Dark and cold outside and can't be bothered to go and have a look I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

note: the rrs has more tapered ends, and a different 'drill' patern I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

It's just more Censored holes to try and get the fies out of. It's bad enough cleaning err "detailing" the front as it is. Global Warming.... I'm luvvin it

I agree, and those holes don't look like they're following a straight line either... Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Shocked Even my chicken fence is straighter than that!
what are the holes at the bottom end of each corner for?
Is that where the chicken feed goes?
