Does this grill have round tubes that are chrome and extend the entire width
of the grill opening (at least the top tubes)? If so, it is the "Vista"
after-market grill. I have one on my Mk1 Spit and I think that as far as
looks go, it can't be beat. Performance-wise, it probably detracts from top
performance because it is much heavier than the aluminum grill pieces that
came stock.
Cheers,
Joe C.

I purcheced a pile of Spitfire race parts years ago and there was a grill
I was told was a works grill. It is very different from a Mk 1 grill. There
are five horizontal tubes making up a one piece grill. Can anyone verify
this or is it just aftermarket stuff.
