Title: Restoring front grille?
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 09 November 2007, 14:35:58

 Ey up

 My grille is a little the worse for wear - stonechips, and the silver edge is a bit speckled. Is there anything I can use to bring it back to decent condition, or am I best off getting a new one? I think it's coated plastic rather than metal...

 Yes, I'm bringing my car up to brand new, bit by bit. :y

AIUI, the facelift ones are different... if there's a decent condition used one I'd be grateful, if not, how much am I looking at for a new one? (Out of interest, where are you getting the parts prices and part numbers from?)
