| To:- FS{F. Steele}/DI c:- JPB Dd 3/AW 2.11.61 Ventilation and Wireless Grilles Following our conversation I have looked at the various ventilation and wireless mesh type grilles. I think that the following colouring should be standardised - 1. The rear heater outlet in the centre of the seats should be to the colour of the leather. 2. The extra air under the scuttle near side, to the colour of the leather, i.e. similar to the paint used on the rear compartment fresh air grille - as number one. 3. The recirculating grille at the right of the front seat which is out of sight, in bronze or black finish. 4. The speaker grille in the parcel shelf, to be coloured to match the cloth surrounding trim. I have had a word with JPB and he agrees with my suggestions. Dd | ||
