TR5 Grille Installation


Recommended Posts

From memory, and this is 2 years ago, I certainly did not remove the bonnet and I am sure that the bumper was in place although the overriders certainly had not been fitted. If relevant, all parts were original.

Good luck,

Tim

Just removing the overriders should do it ,do not forget to paint the lamp panel satin black if you want originality.

Is that the panel housing the headlamps Graham? Didn’t know that! Oh bother!!! I bet not many cars are correct to that degree bearing in mind not many have even got black sills.

Now I got told that this was wrong as there was too much of it painted black, is that the case?

My TR5 is a Malines built car still wearing its original white paint.    With the grill removed, there is no black out or satin black of any kind in any of that area - its all body color on mine at least.  

Malines built cars are a law unto themselves with regards paint colours as they could be ordered in any colour from the whole Triumph range as well as non standard ones.

So what is the proper limits for black if you plan to go that route?

Apparently same as above but not on the top return of the panel. i.e. the bit where the tabs on top of the grill screws to.
