Changing Pure Grille - yes or no

Wicksy · 28-12-2011 07:53pm

I collected my Fuji Pure 5-dr last Friday and am well pleased. The only thing that is giving me food for thought is whether or not to change the grille and side vents to gloss black as on the Dynamic.
The Atlas colour is "ok" but I'm wondering whether the near £165 plus VAT is worth shelling out to make the change?

Mine are on order from my dealer,having to wait as these parts are in short demand at the factory & the track comes first for any parts.
Only reason for changeing to black, is as mine is in OG & the grille is AG, I'm not to keen on the "grey on grey" look.

Thanks for that WB - Nick's prices seem to be lower than Duckworth Parts (another forum member). I'd appreciate it if you could give me his e mail address so that I can get a total cost Smile

Just have them painted! It will probably be cheaper!

I know this wont go down well, but I think you should leave as is, I don't believe in people dressing their cars up as different models Evil

!

Just my opinion and one I am sure wont be appreciated Crying

It's not dressing up its a colour preference.

Personally I don't like silver trim and I do like black - so had I bought a prestige I would have "dechromed" it like I have with every other car I've had.

Yes I put him in touch with one forum member in Singapore who needed a grille.

Maybe in the US but quotes I had in the UK varied from £200 to £600 and the parts are a lot cheaper to buy pre painted.
