Difference in Grilles from aircon to non aircon ?
I need to replace the front grille on an aircon TD5 90, not the surround. I se them advertised for aircon and non but looking at Mrs C's non AC one I cant see the difference.

is there one?

The grill itself no. But the surrounds are different as one sticks out one is flush Instagram @defender_ventures

What he said.

Grill is the same. Surround is the difference

Original type grilles are the same. Often aftermarket ones are different for AC/non AC as they extend up or down from the original shape.

If sticking to original type, I would recommend a genuine grille. The pattern ones are made of much cheaper and more flimsy plastic.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
