Hi guys,

can anyone reccommend anything to return my black painted kidney grille to the chrome finish hiding somewhere underneath?

Cheers,

its likely the chrome underneath has been roughed up to give a key to the black paint. iirc new grills are cheap from ECP, under £20 perhaps?

I would have thought a replacement was the way to go, try parts section or ebay

I'm watching one on eBay at the moment, I think it's going to be easiest.
