Black Edition Grille

[Chris Eaton]

I'm thinking of spraying my standard grille black like the black edition. Can't decide whether to go satin black or gloss black. Any suggestions ?
Currently the grille is grey with the chrome lip.

I say matt black plastidip! Might be a bit bias..

Where would I find that ? Got a link ? I do a lot of motorway miles so I want something that won't chip off and look tatty.

How about this - Classifieds: Genuine Audi A3 Glossy Black Grille Facelift 2008-12 OEM Glossy black with chrome surround. The surround is removable if you want to replace or re-spray. Bear in mind that any type of spray will chip more easily than the factory finish, espeically if you are putting the miles on.

^^^This. I've sprayed grills before and never again. The front is too susceptable to chips, and chips so easily, the car looks tatty and ruined in no time. Buy a proper black grill or don't bother I'd suggest.
