How many different types of mk1 grilles are there (assuming the ones with the moustache' are mk1s) because there are ones with long moustaches and ones with short ones, i was quite confused and would like to know which grille is the one with a short moustache? Is it the cooper?
Cheers :erm:

Same grill mate, the long moustache sections fit onto the end of the grill surround. Most people don't fit them however.

I thikn the ones with short moustaches have been cut because of large arches or somethin else that will get in the way. I think the standard mk1 grilles have the long moustache.
But my opinion on mk1 grills is that they look great, if i could be ar***d to put the effort in an convert to mk1 i'd be there in a flash. :wink:

you will need to take the lip off the bonnet. Not too hard a job, just gotta split a few spot welds, however some paint will be needed.
