My Marlin has had the rear lights modified and the rear wing 'lump' has been removed and fibre glassed over.

Happened to be on ebay and what do I see is a set of rear lamps from a Marlin complete with the moulding and in red !!

Whats the bet they came of my car !!!

On the way to me on Monday !!!

Still need a grill surround !!

Still need a grill surround !!

Roadster grill surround is only really a strip of aluminimum which can be easily bent up by hand from a strip of ali. I also replaced the weaved grill with aluminimum mesh - not too hard and looks tidy.

Re: Good ole ebay...

I used similar ally mesh when I built my roadster [cica'92] only to find that the airflow through it was less than satisfactory, ie it was being deflected approx. 45 degrees when I did a rough and ready smoke test. Changed it for the stainless wire type. Apologies if I've rained on your parade!

Re: Good ole ebay...

Sorry - you want a whole nose cone then - a bit harder to get !!

Regarding the alloy grill it has been in my car for about 5 years now and not had any overheating issues including when using it for classic trialling, so seems to work fine from a practical perspective.
