I think it's OK to post that kind of question, Kelvin, because we all want to
have input to our suppliers regarding the quality of parts.
I would someday like to own an A, so why don't youz guyz borrow the BEST
fitting grill you can find, and MAKE YOUR OWN replacements?!?!? If the only
grills available are crap, you could corner the market. Aren't they just
chrome plated castings? (I really don't know.)
About 10 or 15 years ago, the American car makers all decided that offering
cars that were CRAP, compared to the Asian and European cars of the era, was
costing them a lot of money. They increased their quality, and now they are
selling more cars and paying less to keep them running (in warranty repairs).
They are still not as reliable as an old MG Midget, but at least they are
trying.
