If I were you I'd paint your existing grills on the car as they are an absolute bas***d to get off. Whatever threads you read regarding the removal its still a hard job. My hands were cut to ribbons. :thumbsdown:

I could sell you the OEM version (brand new).

Had them changed to chrome before the car left the dealers.

really? mine were cake to put in. in fact, there's a thread on here that has perfect instructions of how to remove them and replace with your new ones. it took me 10 mins, if that, and no nicks or scratchs on the hands whatsoever. was cake.
