Did you pull the lower grill out yourself to paint it?
Heard it is a pain to pull out.

I have a black ST TDCi so want to spray the grills black too.

Nope, i used plastidip for the grilles, best thing because it doesnt chip or flake off.


If you want to remove the lower grille you need to take the top grille off, and get your hand in behind it, there are small sprung metal clips which hold it in around the perimeter, these need to be prised off, you then push the grille inwards, twist it and then remove it. Little fiddly.

Thanks
I bought some plasti dip but then sold it as I didn't fancy using it.

Although it's a nice looking car,to see that it does indeed get better have a look at the car that Roop posted quite close the start of the thread.
