Edit: the middle part of the grille is silver - it is not original in this model and can indicates that the grille was repainted. It seems that all rear badges are only on the left = 1974+ (but right ones could be removed). Of course there is no C-pillar side decoration, also like in 1974+ car, but it could be removed as well... -- Last edit: 2013-09-01 15:51:41
