Didn't get much done after doing the door seals last week but i decided to make a Disco 2 dog guard to fit the 2a for when i go metal detecting once the 2a is back on the road and today i was rumaging through an old plastic storage box that came with the 2a when we first got it and found a full set of vent grills so i decided on aerosoling them in gloss black :)
