Seen a few members have done the same and it looks good to me. No ferreting about with trim gel and all that nonsense then.

I'd be interested in seeing how this will work out.
Assuming front grill top and bottom and fog inserts?
Post photos and info when you do!

I started a thread about it not long back pal, got some useful replies:

Also a couple @MC71 posted up in a similar thread - pretty sure he'd only sprayed the fog grilles at this point but it gives you an idea:
And one more off the SRS website:

Not bad, might do it myself when I do the full summer detail!
Plastidip or normal gloss spray paint do you think?
AJP:
Not sure yet, I'm going to speak to my bodyshop guy and see what he recommends. Something resistant to peeling hopefully!
Oldy:
I'm With you AJP and Luke in wanting a permanent finish. I have read through many of the posts on here about temporary fixes, which although Ok, all seem to fade off too quickly, let alone the job being a PITA.
I, like you AJP, would worry that if painted, it may peel
My grill is grey too (which looks terrible on my black GTI) but looking at the prices of grills on ebay and google, there are many at not much money. That seems a good alternative to me.
Has anyone bought one of these in the link below and if so, are they OK?

That brand comes up a lot on here and seems to get good feedback in general. I assume that's the kit that contains the smooth number plate section?
Oldy:
Yes seems so to me, although it also includes a number plate holder to fix if you want.
