WTT: Chrome front grill for Black MCS grill

I have a chrome grill on my Mini Cooper, and would like to trade for a Black MCS grill. If you're interested, please send me a PM. It has to be in very good condition, as mine is.

Have you considered just covering the offending chrome slats with black vinyl?

Yes, I have. That's one option. I've already bought some black-out tape, but would prefer the real thing.

I bought a new OEM black grill, which is quite reasonably priced (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hp/photo/33754), and covered most of the cost by selling the chrome grill. It is much harder to find the right person to trade with.

I bought them with NAM discount from Classic MINI. However, any dealer should be able to order them using the part numbers. In case you missed it, these notes are in the photo details:
