Army they appear in Nordicar parts list at about £50 each and boot handle £38....but then I would be faced with getting them into UK!! Have thought about trying to wrap grill surround with chrome effect sheet !?

Just goes to show - I never ever bother looking at Nordicar - I consider them to always be far too expensive... ...lesson learned perhaps I should pay a bit more attention! ##### You might get someone to wrap the grill for you but I think it will probably end up looking a bit gangster. Could work though. You wouldn't need much. The problem might be buying an appropriately sized amount. I have seen a very good spray chrome paint that is used to convert black (celluose 2 pack paint <= If I remember correctly) into a chrome finish. I can try and find it again if you want but it seemed like it was almost expensive as getting a proper job done when I looked last. (It was from a custom car paint supplier in France I think) ^^^^This was a solution that looked like it was a serious step up from the rattle can chrome effect solutions available in every automotive shop that usually last a few months before they peel^^^^^

If you do come across chrome paint info. that would be good but from what I’ve seen with the Alloy wheel paint boys, the chrome effect is good but it aint chrome! Brookhouse Volvo over here have been really good at sourcing parts for me so far. So I have asked them to quote for the bright work parts I need and also emailed PTT bumpers in Taiwan re grill surround ( but am expecting import duties to kill that one!) Watch this space! And thanks everyone for Seat input.

https://www.stardustcolors.co.uk/37-chrome-paint You'd have to cost it up - I'm not sure if it will work out cheaper especially as you need to paint a black layer under it...
