So the lower trim spoiler, grill and rear bumper trims all get chipped up over time, I have, by accident, found the colour match for this as its the same as my Giulietta wheels:

Alfa 693/B Grigio Anthracite Metallic, it then requires a final top coat of sating lacquer and its a perfect match but I went matt lacquer as it looks better duller.

It has the same colour and mild sparkle as OEM

Probably the same as a lot of GT front grills and the GSport from trims and splitter.

Good work Mark!

I am hoping it will be a while before I need it on my Strad. But it was MOT day today and this happened.
>1K miles, worthless now :)

You're right, John, it's a worthless lump of scrap now. But I'm a nice guy and I like you, so I'll give you £40k for it. 'old out yer 'and.

Good work, Matt. It's also good that you're starting your Le Mans 2024 prep early.

Cheapskate.

An absurd offer. It's obvious that Race mode isn't working. That car's £35k on a sunny day and you, with your Glaswegian WBAC offer, will for sure try to knock him down to £30k when you've seen it, sucked your teeth and found all the issues. Mine's a genuine offer and John would be a fool to turn it down.

I no longer associate myself with WBAC since they sacked the legend, the genius, Philip Schofield. But you're correct about my tactic to knock the price down. In typical Schofield fashion, I shall use an entire community of people to create false sympathy for my own failings and attempt to appeal to John's soft side.

Can the front trim be removed for paint without the bumper coming off?

I stupidly used tar and glue remover to get old front number plate stickers off and it removed some of the black paint.
