Wonder how those mesh grill will look if you sprayed them gloss outer and matte inner? Anyways, looks much better now.

What did you do with the old grills?
I actually thought about painting the old mesh matte black, but thought that would be too much work and did not want to risk overspray.

I purchased the car this way so the original owner would have the piece and unfortunately I do not have his contact info.
