(WANTED) Front grill - 1 of 3 (Solved)

Hiya boys
When I did my facelift I had my grill surround colour matched with the car (Stornoway Grey)

Click image to enlarge

thought it looked nice when it was first done - but now I feel its missing the LR tungsten Grey colour from the front of my freely

So im after 1 of 3 grills / Surrounds

First one is just a flat Grey Surround- No need for the grill

Second one is Grill and surround Grey on Grey

Or the third if anyone as is the grill and surround from the 2013 or just the surround

Click image to enlarge

If anyone has any of the 3 please let me know

I like the MY13 grill, but if you have to buy a new bumper, it isn't worth it. If you did get one, you would have to get your bumper resprayed again.

I think your answer is to get your bodyshop man mask off and spray the grill perimeter in the colour of your choice.
I am almost certain that it would be nigh on impossible to change grills as the individual bumper / grill parts are secured by heat melting of tabs which is a 'once only operation.

I removed my surround when it went in for spray last time Fred, with a little time and patients grill and surround can be removed from bumper and heat malted back together - been there done that
But its only a one or two time operation otherwise you wont have nothing to melt back BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

The pre facelift is beginning to look dated. MY11 facelift tidied it up a bit and the chrome strip made the rear look more interesting.
