Just in case you need it Rob the colour code for the surround is
Merc 7229 Basecoat Lavagrau

My paint shop had a lot of trouble finding it but the one above code is a Mercedes code that's 100% spot on Wink

They made it up in a spray can for me and I did it my self Thumbs Up BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Just do it!

Having been tempted by the idea of colour-coordinated door handles but been put off by the price, all I can say is just do it! Order yesterday morning from Rimmer's at a not to be missed price (see beginning of this post) Shocked , delivered first thing this morning (standard delivery Lincoln to Bristol) and fitted today in 15 minutes Thumbs Up Less than 24 hrs from flash to bang - well chuffed! Very Happy

Well done Rimmer - one very happy satisfied customer Thumbs Up

Saw this topic while I was offshore and wanted to buy the Rimmer Bros handles in Stornoway Grey, but a bit hesitant to while using an 'internet cafe' PC. Back home yesterday and first task was to check the price hadn't changed, thankfully not - purchased. Very Happy

Just have to wait now for fixing my new handles, as I have another trip offshore this week. Big Cry

Still a spoiler and bumper to go...

Hi Carriec - the garage said they could still paint the one i got but the extra prep and paint would double the quote they gave and the finish wouldn't be the same as origional as they didn't have the correct paint codes.

I'd prefer a bumper with a mint grille + surround so just the bumper part paint wouldn't be a problem

RC still haven't replied - i'll give them a call tommorow.

Did they say your bumper was unmarked on the grill?


Sorry Rob I've only just seen this post Embarassed

To be honest the comments on eBay were fairly generic and stated that the bumper had scratch marks due to storage and would need spraying, so not much help to you I'm afraid. I still have to get of my arse and find someone to spray mine for me, so it'll be interesting to see what quotes I get back.

Did you go for one in the end? The BEST looking half of the famous Twinlanders Ner Ner

Hi carriec - i bought another bumper off ebay (£114.94 inc postage) which is in black with scuff marks - the bodyshop called today to say they recieved it yesterday and it isn't too bad.
Hopefully it'll be painted early next week and i can get it fitted next saturday when i have a day off

Bodyshop is charging £150 for paint + fitting Thumbs Up probably a bit cheaper as this is where i bought the FL from a couple of weeks ago?

RC took several days to reply to emails and all he could say was "they all have marks" - not much help Banging Head
