Bang goes my chance of getting a cheap deal!
The seller wants a lot of money for it so wont be sold cheaply :|
I'll just wait another 10 years for the next one to come along!

Is it not possible to at least reproduce a Super grille by adding suitable chrome/stainless upright bars to a normal wavy grille......the ebay grille needs at least one of them replacing anyway?

I would have thought that the uprights would be just the sort of thing that could be reproduced by a 3D printer then plastic chromed or similar, would be useful to get the look whilst waiting for an original to come along :)

The upright bars are aluminium and are not solid.
They are an extrusion and then fixed on by rivets from the rear.
A copy would be possible to do but to have an original would be nice :D

Might be the pictures (or the PC I'm looking at them on) but the rear window looks like it's the MK2 size :?:
