Refinished Kidney grills

Post by Wcthumper »

Hi everyone

I just received these kidney grills from an e24 member on Facebook and they look fabulous. They are refinished and almost look new. It is a much better bargain than buying used grills from ebay. They arrived in a very protective box too! If anyone is interested in getting these please reach out to Jan Djajo.

Can you tell me about the "rivet" that goes in the center to holds the plastic grill into the aluminum trim at the top?
It looks like there is one pictured sitting on the plastic wrap in your picture- the one on the right.

I have disassembled the grill from the trim and have polished the plastic part. Soon will be polishing the aluminum and will need to reassemble.
I was cutting down 5mm rivets and trying to fit them back up for when the time comes to re-assemble. Pain the ass the say the least but I think I have a solution. Just wondering what you may have going on for your re-assembly.
