We 'finished' our BN2 restoration years ago, but I remember thinking the
same thing about the grille. IIRC, the top of the grille is supposed to
curve towards the rear; since it's the highest point it has to extend
rearward some else you'd have a large gap with the shroud (the grille
opening is a bit 'peaked' as well). As it is, even with an original--as
far as we know--grille it takes quite a bit of fiddling to get it placed
'just so' so there aren't any gaps around its edge.
