@TW2904 have you got your new grilles fitted yet?

Any pics of your painted grilles yet Borat?

Not yet the paint shop has been busy so hasn’t got around to them yet sadly. Will post when they do

Painted OEM grilles now fitted!







Pleased with the decision to keep the OEM parts. I paid £320 for the painting which is more expensive than aftermarket but the finish and fit is faultless.

Looks good. Mine should be done this week as well. LV chin and splitter plus newly painted canteras also ready! Pics incoming

They look awesome @TW2904 ! Well done! I'm definitely going to go ahead and do that now. I was just worried that the dimpled texture would look crap, but it seems with the right prep, it's not even an issue - your's look great!

Finally got mine fitted. Unfortunately vanstyle sent 2 of the same side in the small trims so missing one of those until they send replacement but I am very happy with the quality of the finish. He did say it took more prep than expected, but stuck to original quote, which was 360 for grill, dog bone, trims and the LV-S chin / splitter. Including fitting, which I think is very reasonable. Company is ultimate finish in solihull, in case anyone wants to use them.

I've just had my lower grills painted and my top grill as well for £100, should have been £150 but my painter had the parts for over a month as i wasnt in any rush!

I finally got my upper and lower grilles painted gloss black - so happy with the result, and so glad I didn't go through the hassle and expense of having some sent out from England. For anyone in my part of the world in Australia, I used LowCo Customs in Moledinar, Gold Coast, Queensland; total cost was $850 (for those of you in the UK, that's about £350). Really pleased with the service -- on time, on budget and did an excellent job! Now I need to get a set of fog lights!

Does anyone know any specialists who can do this work in Hampshire?

@BognorMotors
I know its not technically Hampshire but its pretty close and they are pretty good !

 

[Magpie1832]

I did my own. Stripped the grills out of the bumper, used rattle can black plastic primer filler. Then I used piano black base coat and lacquer. As long as you prep it right it looks great.

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the Devon area to go to for painting the front grills gloss black.

Just been quoted £750 + vat which I thought was a little on the steep side?

That sounds very steep! Paid 350 inc painting and fitting of the grills and a Leighton chin and splitter. Maybe worth considering courier to somewhere else? The place that did mine did a great job.

Has anyone had their T6.1 grilles painted gloss black recently and if so, how much did it cost?
