| Re: Colour coded grille surround Can't buy the grille surround pre painted; but you should be able to get your dealer or any bodyshop to spray a chrome one for you. I did.

I tried spraying one myself that I'd keyed into but to be honests didn't make a very good job of it so I stripped it back again. Keep meaning to take it to get sprayed as the prep work is done more or less now.

| Re: Colour coded grille surround About £50 for the grill surround. I'd be suprised if you can get it properly prepared and sprayed for under £50 though although I'd like to be proven wrong. I was quoted over £150 by one bodyshop and a number of others reckoned it couldn't be done.
