My chrome cowl piece (its a chrome piece of plastic up by the windshield that houses the windshield spritzer) is cracked and I’d like to get a new one… but I don’t know what it’s called! Also, likewise, if someone has one they are looking to unload… I’m looking!
David,
That grille was plastic on all six of the Series III saloons that I owned and dozens more that I have seen over the years. I have never seen one made of metal on a Series III saloons.
Yes, chromed plastic on S3, a dull finish on pot metal on S1 and 2. But the earliest (68-9) S1 cars featured beautifully chromed pot metal (and the washer nozzle was also chromed). Best of both worlds!
I have a 71 XJ6 I am parting out, it has a metal grille piece. But kind of pitted. It would need some attention and rechroming to look real nice. Let me know if interested, i can get you a pic.
