Painting black plastic trim in body colour on a Prestige Evoque

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if this is something the dealers can do, I'd like to get the front and rear bumpers of my prestige Evoque painted in body colour. My car is due to be built on the 9th of November. I've chosen Santorini black and want the lower parts of the bumpers to be colour coded, similar to a Dynamic.

Can I request my dealer to do this prior to delivery?

Thanks

Or you could buy a Dynamic rear bumper............

If you get it painted make sure the valeter hasn't sprayed it with silicone spray as that will be a nightmare.

Rxa, any reason why you have DTM on your license plate?

Don't think that is their car (as it isn't being built until November)

Not my car! Just wanted to show an example of the area which I want painted in body colour. Still in two minds if I should do it or not. I could get a dynamic rear bumper but dont really want to mess around with a new car straight away.

I might up ring up and ask a couple of body shops how much it'll cost. Does anyone know of any good body shops in Central, NW London?

Thanks

I've just bought the dynamic sides from Duckworth Parts - £50 each side for the 5 door.

Only primed so will need spraying, but a local body shop has quoted me £300 to spray and fit the sides, front and rear bumpers.

For me personally, that lower trim will make a huge difference - I was always incredibly torn between prestige interior and dynamic exterior.
