[Swap] Supercharged chrome grille
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone would like to swap a chrome 'Supercharged' grille for a black 'Supercharged' one or a black Disco IV looky-likey on?
Not had this too long (please see my other posts) but it's a little too blingy for my tastes; I had it on for a few weeks then went back to the bog-standard black one. In great condition.
Pictures to follow once I've swapped back to my phone again.
Cheers, Sam

Hi Sam
Have you thought of spraying it up easy to do
Pop up to Halfords get thinners/etching primer/matt or gloss black
(You’re preference) and lacquer
Take the grill off tape up badge clean grill with thinners spray with etching primer let dry
Then spray with black let dry then spray with lacquer job done
That’s what I did to my 2013 grill
Good luck with the swap if not

That's a brilliant idea! - I didn't even think of that, thanks! Definitely going to give that a go next weekend. Cheers, Sam

Will do mate. Going to head to Halfrauds tomorrow to get some rattle cans and see how rusty my technique is!
Still can’t believe I didn’t think of this!
