I'm looking to replace or repair the grilles inside the front wheel wells (left and right). they have been increasingly damaged over time, by pick-up marbles launched off the tyres during track days. The fins of radiator behind it are now a bit damaged and i want to avoid further damage.
Does anyone know where to find replacement grilles (to be fixed with rivets)? Alternatively i could use a piece of plastic grille bought at Amaz... and fix that in place with ty-wraps, a less elegant solution.

Order from a dealership? They are a listed part.

I checked with a dealership but dont have a response yet. I did a temporary fix (which might turn out to become permanent.

It looks good, maybe even an improvement.

Thanks.
I discovered that new plastic "Grilles" are E55 each and these will probably break again when hit by marbles on track. So i think i will stick with the aluminium grill solution shown, for now.
