DIYBOSSCAT Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi All, Does anyone have a picture showing the outline of where I believe the satin black paintwork should be behind the grill on a TR6. My car is having a respay shortly (signal red), so would like to know. Might as well have it right. Regards, Vince. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David B2 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hitching onto this thread for a TR4A. does the same apply for the 4a ? I’ve always assumed it was all body colour behind the grill. is that correct? Have just googled for pictures and advice but cannot find anything so comments would be helpful to my project. Currently at primer. thanks , David B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
