Black gloss grill for 2013+?

Anyone know a part number or where you can find the black gloss version (autobiography) of the front grill for the 2013-2015s?

Example in picture below:

Thanks for any help!

It's part of bumper I'm afraid! My dynamic came with the gloss black grill. Ronp had his grill resprayed with the bumper on the car! I'm sure he will chip in shortly Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Yes I had the spars on my grill painted in gloss black whilst on the car.
However if you want the outer rim done too, then it's best with the bumper off for that job.

Oh, and you can add a chrome strip to the surround.

Interesting, a while back I tried to remove the grill (you can on the same year evoque) and it seemed like it was stuck by a couple of dabs of glue by each headlight, but I could wiggle it. If I understand you correctly, there is no part number for just the grill on 2013-2015 FL2/LR2s?

It's either drop the whole bumper and paint or paint grill while on the car eh?

I just recently bought a second grill.
You'll see how much plastic is involved in securing to the bumper.

my 2008 GS is in for colour coding at the end of March (having the black sills all round, boot handle and D pillars done, as loving the look of LRNUTs Dynamic)

Also having the grill done in gloss black, but going to get them to tone it down a bit possibly. Its a full bumper off job for mine as they dont want to mask it.

Coded D pillars will transform her! The gloss side vents and grill along with the raised roof rails will be an excellent contrast Rog!

Im amazed that nobody on here has coded the D pillars on a FL2 considering it came out in 2006 Shocked MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Hi Ron

Is it easy enough to buy a strip of chrome & affix to the grill?

Also when I bought my dynamic front spoiler I noticed the grill alone is offered as an upgrade. Not sure how that works!

Yes, it's dead easy.
Just buy 5mm chrome exterior trim and follow it around the grill line.
Use a light bit of heat on the bends, too much and you'll frazzle the chrome effect.
Did the job ok for me ...... however I've since removed mine and replaced it with black trim as that matches the 'black pack' look that I've got going.
