the grille (not grill) to which you are referring is not the shark tooth. That refers to a very early, lower valence below the front bumper. Egg crate is the correct term for the Series II grille. The chrome grille with which you've replaced the egg crate
I only know as a Series 1 grille (which I also agree is much better looking). </span></div>

Also because of the absence of any photos, I'm quite confused about your statement regarding your broken, front, right, turn signal
<b>below the bumper. </b> If memory serves (and is the case with my 3500S), all of the 2000s/2200s came with their turn signals above the bumpers (as originally designed). To my knowledge, only the U.S. Export NADA 3500S placed the turn signals below.
Sounds like someone retrofitted the turn signals. Regardless, if I'm wrong (very often the case), and the below-the-bumper turn signal is correct, then, as with my 3500S, it is essentially the identical Lucas turn signal configuration which you'll find on
an MGB. </div>
