Re: Lamps for Bentley Car

We have received the lamps you sent us. These appear to be quite satisfactory with the grills removed.

As regards the horns, we think these are alright with the grill on, but think the centre of the grill should be painted black, leaving the white rim only. We are, however, keeping the horns for the time being and offering them up on a car so that we may see the effect a bit later on.
