Working on my Grill

Hello People,

I am working on renewing my grill and I have run into a problem.

The high-impact plastic insert the fits inside the chrome portion of the grill is brittle and cracking.

I have looked on Phil's site. There are two options for replacement. One says it is made in Germany, but there is no picture. The other says "aftermarket" and there is a picture. However, the photo looks nothing like the insert I need.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the insert I need?

One is probably OE and one is aftermarket. I have an aftermarket grill on the SDL now and it is crap. The chrome is poorly finished and the plastic part is super crappy.

Come repaint later this year it will go in the junk pile and an OE grill will be replacing it.

Don't forget that you still need new aluminum strips.
