Default Looking for Bose Speaker grills A4 1.8t 99.5

I have looked everywhere and can't find the front lower speaker grills. My are smashed and it is a real eye shore. If that was not enough, they are blue. Anyone have any idea where I can find some new ones without junkyard hopping?

I think they are even glued into the door. Will be hard to get them off a junker without cutting.

Yeah I went a took a look - they have plastic rivets that are used and then melted. They can be drilled out as Chriz suggests.

To get the new grill in I assume you drill it large enough to insert new rivets and them somehow melt them (soldering iron, etc)
