Subject:Unbelievable-Lower Grille Needed

Volks-

I just can't catch a break!
Not TWO months after getting Blackbeard back from having the LAST round of
front-end damage repaired (not my fault), the van was again mercilessly hit
while sitting vacant in a parking structure.

ARRGGHHH ! ! ! ! !

And apparently the upstanding citizens of the City of Sin (that was a
joke)do not find it necessary to leave any information after
inflicting anonymous
vehicular damage while nobody is around to cry foul.
So here I sit with yet another round of annoying fiberglass and paint damage
on the passenger corner - and no cash-ola with which to make the necessary
repairs.

No biggie because nothing was mechanically damaged. All cosmetic.
But man oh man, them were some sweet-lookin' cosmetics! I put a lot into
this bugger!

They also cracked the lower grille and popped out a couple of the clips that
attach it to the body.
This is a fix that I know can be done with minimal investment and no need to
match paint, patch fiberglass, etc . . .  OY!

Anyone have a lower grille for a '90 GL laying around that isn't cracked,
and maybe the clips to go with it that I can purchase?
I can get a check off in the mail lickity-split.

Thanks in advance!
