 Re: Special hood
Is it original Citroën part? It looks like a 602 engine?

There's a much more significant difference - the original ripple doesn't fit over the normal headlamp bar and alternator - but the plastic reproductions have more curvature, so they do. I don't think that red one is, though - there's no light bar in front of the alternator... That centre bar in the grille is unusual. I didn't notice it at first.

 Re: Special hood
There should be a topic about that on 2cv.nl or on snail... Did a quick check, but couln't find a topic.. But I've seen those grilles before.. IIRC it is a repair-part for damaged ripple hoods, made by a assesoire company orso...
