Re: Rover P3 Radiator Grill Finish !!

24-453 (Rover 10, 1947) has a painted grille. Since it is made out of simple sheet metal, we have come to the conclusion that it would be easier to make a replica rather than to fix the old one. The replica was zinc coated (galvanized) and then painted with silver paint, as written in the workshop ...

Painted.
Hi Stewart,

thanks for your quick reply, which now brings me to 2 questions.
1) what should I do, Paint the louvers or get the entire grill plated?

2) if paint, then what should be the colour?

thanks

Rover P3 Radiator Grill Finish !!

I have seen many pictures of P3 on the internet and have seen that many of the radiator grills are chrome plated and the louvers are painted and in many cars the entire grill is plated.

How was it originally ?

thanks in advance

P3 side lamps

I have just looked at the side lamps that came with my car and I am not sure if they are the correct ones,
What is the correct part number for the side lamps for 1948 cars and if some one could please upload some close up pictures of the same.
