I had a similar sort of thing on my old 3.0 auto estate.
Standard Carlton grille, but with the chrome V piece fitted. I liked it.
Wonder what it would look like on a Senator chip cutter grille?

That would probably break up the acres of plastic quite well.

Don't like it - it's a Vectra grille, definitely, and it makes the Carlton look like a Vectra at the front with it on, IMHO!
The newer, chunkier, V grille would look alot better on Carlton, I reckon!

Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt... me.
