Front spoiler + cover plate + grille

 Another thing I had to mount back was the front bumper spoiler and the cover plate:


This reminded me I also need to source a decent front metal cover plate as that one is seriously rotten. Luckily its an item that can easily be removed and replaced (if I can source a good one):


But the grill also needs attention:


Not sure how this is suppose to look like originally. Is the outer trim chrome or polished aluminum. Or should it be entirely in black paint? 


It's now all fitted back but not entirely to my liking, the three bottom pins in the grill shoud fit thru the spoiler but there is to much space. 


Meanwhile I also looked up the bottom plate, difficult if you don't know the appropiate name or part number. But the good news is, I found it and it's available, still a bit pricy so hopefully I can source an affordable used one.

And the part nr is: RTC1531 (front lower panel valence)

Knowing this informatio it helps to narrow down the search.
