plastic cover on front grill
Hi folks
I took today the front grille out from mine 1992 SVX, it wasn't a problem. Now my question: On this grill is outside a black plastic cover. So this cover stops the airflow through the grille into the cooler. I don't know, if this cover is only on European SVX, or maybe specially in Switzerland. Most fun is, this cover can be taken away. I saw on many pictures from USA SVX that they don't have this cover, so, as you can see, I took it today away. Can somebody tell me, why we have in Switzerland (or maybe in other countries) this cover on the grille? The more air flows to the cooler the better it is for the engine, isn't it? Greetings Kusi |

Kusi,
Do you have a picture with the cover on? I can't visualize what you are talking about. Doug

I just scan the cover, because of this there you see littlebit color = scan quality is bad. Color is normal black.
This cover matches exactly over the open part what you see on the upper picture. With this cover the grille is complete close and there doesn't go any air through it. Because of this I took it away. Last but not least it looks also much more better. Sorry for my poor english. Kusi |

Kusi, This would seem to be an accessory for arctic use, to maintain coolant temperature. Certainly remove it for temperatures above about -13 degrees C. Boone
