<br clear="none">
I read the following question recently on facebook, but no clear answer was given. Does anybody know, especially to the cross panel in front of the radiator?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Is it right that the lower lip on the rear shroud was painted (semigloss) black on 6 cylinder Austin-Healeys and the same was with the cross panel front face in front of the radiator? Are there other body panels which are not just bolt on painted in black?<br clear="none">
