piece of grill flaked off

John 070 · 07-20-2013, 06:37 AM

I was a bit surprised, I was cleaning some bird **** off my grill, and the plating just flaked off?

Car has never been hit or anything like that. Seems like a factory defect. Since I shut the hood and you can't really see it, I'll just leave it.....

This is what I would need I guess if I want to get back to perfection

You could probably find a grill on eBay much cheaper.... or just go Wal-Mart and get a can of plasti-dip and glossifier and black out your damaged grill.
