Hi,
I needed to replace my grille moldings due to replacement of my Lucas fogs to Marchal, and the fact that there are 2 mounting holes left out.
I just bought NOS moldings C7ZZ-8190-A & C7ZZ-8191-A. When I got them, I realize they're not the same color, much lighter color than my original ones.
Does the black-out treatment apply also to these 2 parts and the center molding piece, C7ZZ-8221-A. I thought it was for the grille only
If it's the case and I need to repaint them, I wonder if I really needed NOS ($$$), I was a bit deceived when I realized color is wrong. I could have just bought a used set, since I would need to repaint them anyway. The chrome portion if worn a bit could have been polished, I don't think this is real chrome but just polished aluminium?? Any thoughts on that.
If painting needed, what is the correct color?
Thanks
