I like the type of grill, but not on a Morgan. Look at the BMW, there it fits:  But who got there first with that grill; BMW or 1950s Ford Pop?

I have always had mixed feelings about the bumperless or overriders only look. The general lower line of the front of the mudguards and the front numberplate box etc lacks some sort of integration.
The full width bumper gives a better finish and a level line across the front of the car but I like the cleaner look of overriders only.

I also like the look with overriders.
For my taste the front looks more harmonious with overriders.

Robbie, These guys fitted it to the Maroon Roadster so maybe send them an email or call. I'm sorry I don't know the cost. https://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/dealer/ledgerwood-morgan/

Robbie, These guys fitted it to the Maroon Roadster so maybe send them an email or call. I'm sorry I don't know the cost. https://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/dealer/ledgerwood-morgan/ I had one fitted to my car after meeting JJR and seeing his car at Bilbao docks last year. The cost of the parts were: Lower grille £156.80, grille mesh £51.49, lower front cowl, £57.50. All plus VAT I don't have the part numbers but RTCC (richard-thorne@rtcc.co.uk) can tell you the numbers if ledgerwoods don't have them.
