[W126 Coupe] Paint and grill question

[Mike R.]

Where were you when I bought one for $170 last month!! :-)

This has to be far easier than trying to put the chrome back on the grill,
especially if the plastic parts are damaged. Think about getting some
Adhesion Promoter for the plastic and paint the grill while it's out.

Sorry Tom,

That is for the complete grill AND chrome surround. It's for the 
complete grill that screws (or bolts) into your hood.
