Grille required for MOT
Mark Allanson - 11/6/08 at 08:15 AM

Just booked my 4th MOT, and the tester said I would have to fit a grille before the test, I have done it but seems a bit odd to me. There is a 400w 15" fan within finger reach behind it though Rescued attachment Car 1.jpg

I ended up chopping a grille from a german mini and fitting that

off topic, but Mark, your Blue paintwork never ceases to catch my eye. It always looks such a deep deep shine

Is it production car colour or something you had mixed?

BMW Estoril blue?

B+Q fine wire mesh. You could even spray paint it if you're bothered....

Strange ruling though- I'm not sure where the MOT manual says that!!!

It is Rover trophy blue JFV, with 3 coats of lacquer, flatted and polished, makes it REALLY shiney!
