Hey everyone, back with my questions. 

I have been looking for a source of the strips found on the front of the Innocenti grilles. I have a decently new grille and the badge is in decent shape, but the mouldings on there right now are just some chrome strips that have a screw sticking through them at every attachment point. It is not very pretty. 

I have looked at the usual spots (MiniSpares, MiniSport, Huddersfield, JustMinis) and I do not see this small bit available. This image is from SCparts, which has the item at least listed on their site, but calling them they confirm there is no actual stock and no idea when it will ever exist (expected). 

 

Does anyone know where I can get the set? 

 

Thanks!

Not sure if those are available new, but there are quite some options to search for second hand items in Italy. Search for things like 'ricambi' mini (parts) on

Facebook marketplace (location Milan/Rome with a 500km radius should do)

Well, I am going to call this done, but I want to leave this in place for anyone else to see. 

These are not available new, or a copy, or reconditioned. You have to get lucky to find someone with a grille that isnt a mess, and they will almost never part with pieces of the grille. You will have to pay for the full grille and get that to you. 

Luckily I am in Italy, so the grille wasnt hard to find, and wasnt too expensive. 

But none of them are new so expect even the best specimen to have some blemish.
