Took all of the honeycomb off for the first time. Had a good cleaning session and applied liberal amounts of back to black! The lower grille was a pain in the arse to get off!!
Strange looking with no grilles though!

how did you get the lower grille off?

Meant refitting when I said replacing ie putting it back into the same place after removing it. Will have a look at it tomorrow.
