Now available from the dealers after waiting months for it.

Part number

£39.11 plus vat [emoji15]

Now has a Black Pearl Metallic shine and doing away with the annoying Chrome look [emoji16]

Just need to do my Rapid now when that surround becomes available.

Looks really good!

Agreed. How easy was it to fit?

Taking the grille off is a bit of a pain. 3 Torx screws at the top and then pull the grille forward and then you need to release all the clips at the bottom whilst pushing the grille inwards.

Taking the surround off you need to release lots of clips from the grille. It's fiddly but ok. Then obviously the new surround just snap fits into the grille.

Refitting the grille you have to reclip the bottom of the grille with a bit of bending to get into place and then screw the 3 screws back in on top.

From a distance it just looks like one of the cheaper Citigo´s (Active). I know, that taste can´t be discussed, but I prefer the chrome anyday.

It does yes until you get up close and see the shiny Black colour. I did it because I don't like Chrome on a car [emoji6]

Perhaps we could have a little picnic at some point and you can give a young strapping bloke (who can't even remove his bulbs on his own) a helping hand with this, if its decided that is  :p

Yes no problem [emoji106][emoji16]

Looks great, I'll be getting one of them for mine.

Looks good. I am also not a fan of the chrome. I was actually going to fit the lower spec grille but I'll give this a go.

The Black Pearl Metallic is much better than the flat Black of the S model [emoji106]

Is Black Pearl Metallic the same black as the Black Edition?
