Anyone have a link where i can buy a grommet online? Searched on eBay and couldnt find anything.. Halfords only has 25mm ones and its not worth my while going to a scrap yard for one  Thanks

Dont worry about a grommet, glue a 1p peice in here (perfect fit) so its flush then cover with a little circle of black vinyl. Looks far smoother.
