Updating bumper grill MY11 to MY13

As others, I would like to update the bumper grille of my freelander MY11 to the MY13 facelift.

Reading a similar topic on this forum, I know that (as a new part) you can not order the grille without the bumper Sad

I have checked on some MY13 pictures and it seems to me, that the main facelift grille difference is this extra plastic chrome part, which I have remarked on the below MY13 picture.

Does anyone know, if this part can be ordered separately and easy fitted to a MY11 grille?

Furthermore, I would like to update it to black gloss, but I think this could be solved just repainting the original grille Neutral

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Paul!!!

It is not a new part, so I assume that some fixation points could be broken, but it could be a good option.

It's possible you only need to ask but it does give you a part number in the description.

I went to a JLR dealer this morning and told me that this part does not appear as an individual part.

They told, I should order all the complete set, bumper + grille,.... Sad

I did this mod a year or so ago, have a look at the pics. It easy to swap but the front bumper will need to come off. Finding a second hand bumper or grill is the only option. MY11 Freelander 2 TD4 S, Santorini Black, Almond Cloth, Full MY 2013 facelift, Factory Privacy Glass, Clear View Pack, Folding Mirrors, Rear Parking Sensors, LR 19" DogLeg Alloys, and lots of other stuff!
