172 cup - Front grille

[Hoaxy]

Mine's kind of faded and gone a bit greyish. Am I right in thinking that you can get a replacement from the stealers? If so, does anyone have a rough price?

 

[Beef-Mc]

About £50 these days.

Just give a touch up with bumper care or something similar.

 

[Hoaxy]

That's what I'm doing at the minute, although £50 is hardly breaking the bank is it? Cheers mate.

I would take your old one? Dependent on pictures and price?

I just spayed back to black on mine and it came up well, did it about 3 months ago and it's still not faded.

^^ I'm pretty sure he means back to back bumper care spray. Not actual spray paint.

I think Mish has painted the grilles on hers black, does look good.

 

[Tigger]

Give it a clean, let it dry, then some silicon spray should bring it up

 

[Mish]

Spray it black. If you do it properly it will be fine

think he means become a "proper" member..

But yeah, as Mish says get the gloss Black out, mask the top section, and spray away..

 

[Hoaxy]

^^ I'll see how brave I'm feeling at the weekend. lol

real easy mate, wash with fairy liquid to remove any polishes etc, dry very well... give it a light rub down with some wet & dry.. tin of white plastic primer (good few coats, check its bonding and not running) tin of gloss black (good few light coats to continually cover the white) and a tin of laquer (plenty of coats to add shine).. of course you will need to leave it to dry between coats, (hairdryer works too, not too close though.. )
