    Grille Badges

    There's always someone who will go over the top and just cover their grille in badges. Surely the car would not get the required air flow to cool the radiator and engine.

    Air cleaners

    Has anyone had any experience in restoring an air cleaner? Mine is well, looking a bit crappy, just wondering how easily they can be sanded down, primed, painted etc..? I'd imagine you would need special paint to withstand the heat under the bonnet
