Black plastic rs grills

[Scunny_182]

ive got a 182, and the plastic's on the front bumper are faded.

do you have to take the whole front bumper off to get all the black grills off? coz i am waiting to paint them all matt black.

cheers

It's less of a ball ache to take the bumper off and get the grill off, than to do it with it on. Plus you'll have fingers left if you do it this way, which is nice.

so it can be done?

 

[JD]

Yes it can. But it's a ball ache.

Just get some bumper clean and shine stuff on it, works perfectly.

 

[Scunny_182]

I do. Just wanted a lasting effect that doesn't wear off after a few days

The stuff I use lasts weeks, I'm not talking about that original black rubbish.

If you want to paint it by all means go ahead. It will get stonechipped though, it's easier to re-apply a spray than to paint it again.

What stuff u using?

Do it! I sprayed all my plastic grey bits on the vee satin black, finishes her off nicely!

 

[Scunny_182]

That's what am thinking. Think it'll look loads better. Just if it's a ballache to get them all off am not gunna bother

I use this: Click Me

Theres loads of products though, just stick to the gell stuff.

It can be done, just a bit awkward and you'll end up with a few skint knuckles. They just push backwards towards the car and they unclip.

All of them? Fog surround?
