Chim Replacement front grill

[Nosh]

Is there an aftermarket front grill for a L reg Chim.

The one I have is held on with small allen key bolts (which were rusted to hell) and a few sheared off when removing the grill to change the headlight bulbs......

Thanks in advance

LT ones might be available, or a nice piece of stainless wire grill shaped with an angle grinder

Sounds a bit like you already have an aftermarket grill, the original is held on with just a rubber seal.
Wouldn't a few new bolts be a simplier solution.

It is an aftermarket grill that is fitted - but there are studs that are fixed to the plate that is connected to the car - the grill connects to that plate and some of the studs are rusted / broken off...

Anyone?

Hi Waxwork, If Nosh doesn't need it I would be interested if it's a standard one to replace one with a few dents in from stones etc. thanks
