Hi Guys,
I just won these on ebay:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

I'm presuming there wont be any problem fitting them to my 2008 S3?

I want to paint them black, any advice on what paint to use and how to go about this?

Much appreciate

Nick

go to a paint supplier NOT HALFORDS and get any black off them if your not colour coding them and some clear coat

Thanks Fran
Do I need to remove the previous paint first?
I just want it as close to the black grill as possible really, any recommendations?
This is my S3

first nice car second you won't need to get the old paint off just rub it down so the paint has something to stick too i think audi brilliant black will do it nicely

Thanks Fran, rub it down as in sand it a little?

yeah you won't need to a lot as the black will cover it really well

Any particular brand of paint I should go for, spotted a few when searching for audi brilliant black (including halfords haha)

a place that makes paint to order is best as the paint quality is far far far better than any thing halfrauds can do steer clear of them mate I've had nothing but trouble in the past with there paint

Don't worry, I wouldn't buy an air freshener from halfords let alone paint!
I'll see if there is anyone paint places in Hull that can hook me up!
