There are avantgarde grills on ebay.
One is only the middle part (no frame) and one with the frame
do you recommand any?
80$ only middle part, 120$ with frame.
Or I should buy it from a store and not on ebay? BTW I'm painting it black so I don't care the chrome quality.

Mine has only (runs check in the garage) two horizontal chrome lines. Where there is a chrome line, it's not the same shape.
I'll try it, but I think it will look different than a avantgarde painted grill.

WITH FRAME! without sucks and is a pain to install.... just get the whole thing much nicer and eaisier!

so you are going to paint the inner and outer part black with the avantgarde chrome strips as accents?Originally posted by MrSpace

but you can still see the difference between a normal and avantgarde grill when painted black. because the chrome strips are thicker than the black ones.

gotcha.i'd only buy the inner part seeing that you'll be painting it all. but, if you are unsure of your painting abilities, it'd be better to buy the whole so that you can have a spare chrome frame.
i was also debating about buying the grills sold on ebay...
instead what I did was out of the blue, decides to put on the stripes that they sell at the auto stores for truck or cars to put around the doors.
They come in chrome, black or gold i think.
And it worked...20$ and 1hour later I have a nice front grill.
There is a nice man in the UK who sells them.
