Plastic dressing front bumper inserts

AJP:
Not a bad price really. So are you thinking of buying a set of these to get painted up, or just for the fact they're new and should look better than faded original grilles?

Oldy:
Yes, buying to replace the existing. They are gloss black so don't need painting.  I don't know what a paintshop would charge to paint the original grill, but I bet it would be close to, if not more, than the total cost of this set.  That plus no peeling issues is a bit seductive!

AJP:
Looking at the link, I'm not sure the honeycomb sections are gloss. But the number plate bit is, as you'd expect.

Either way, it should be an improvement!

Oldy:
I agree its not entirely clear, but it does describe the main grill as gloss black.  I have emailed asking the specific question, and also whether it is true to the original size.  It may look better than the grey but will be very let down if there are gaps because the sizing isn't correct.

I will post the reply I get!

MC71:
In the end I painted all the lower sections on the old girl, both fog grills and lower honeycomb section...looked good but I did have some peeling after a year or so.

I sanded (as best I could) and primed then undercoated and painted all sections. A pro bodyshop should be able todo this for less than a few hundred quid and give you an awesome finish.

PlastiDip is an option of course.
