Re: Chrome strip below radiator grille
Thanks
What about some bluey bling would it be suitable or over the top? all the old threads have links which are no longer the same, is there a good type of chrome adhesive strip to use on the lower grille.
Anyhow here is the installation video:

I also fixed the headlight while at the bumper, there was a fuse holder inside it (not standard looking) i have no idea why its there but i kept it there, but just soldered the connections instead of using terminal blocks which corroded.
