Hi guys,

 

Basically I bought a black mini grille last year for my '98 MPi which has the gap on the grille for the external release. However, and as I've seen pictures of black grilles with no gap, where do you buy these?

Would a few coats of black spray do the job?

Far be it for me to recommend anything from Magnum Panels, but they do a van grille which would take paint a lot easier than chrome.

Innocenti Cooper Exports had black plastic grilles and an internal bonnet release, so no gap. They are however rare and expensive...
