You can't get them, you have to smooth them yourself

You can buy the smoothed grills that would made that way, but they are rare. But the bonnets you just need to remove the badge, and then get it welded up and smoothed over.

what do you want to change them for. everyone puts th ph3 on the ph2. not many do it the other way round. keep the ph3 and smooth it off pal.

My bonnet was done using a sheet of metal from a fridge.......
Riveted in and filled over lol.
Smooth grill was done by cutting the badge recess out and the plastic welded another section of plastic in, the filled and sanded. I have a spare grill which is better made and will be using. So this one will be spare, has a bump where too much filler is but I don't have the patience for the sanding lol.

Filling with p40 is fail. As said will weigh a tonne, please don't do it this way, surely the front end weighs enough as it is?
