intersting you say that, for my 2 pennies worth. i like the break it gives the otherwise white van. brings a point of interest to the front

I thought it would be too much, I did think of having it chrome painted once, the only idea Ive had for it is, to paint the top section white and black along the bottom

Maybe someone could photoshop it for me

Keep it black Al.

intransit made a squared off grille, the shape really suited the van I thought.
Finished well, one would look really good.

If I had the money, Id like to do a restoration, that would have to be better than my customising, as for the best, its what takes your fancy, Im sure there are some who hate it. Everyone to their own :wink: :D

Alan i'm on the i like list, I do like how the black breaks up the front end so if your thinking of more paint work i think it would look great in gloss black with your mirrors.
