    These bull bars will fit the limited edition without modification

    I am pretty hopeless but removed mine myself. Think I used a plastic primer and them painted them black myself. Cost about $30 and they look perfect. Done 3 yrs ago. I was thinking if going the kbx upgrade but am really glad I didn't.

    Have a crack yourself mate.

    Yeah not a bad idea. I'm thinking of getting hold of an entire new set of headlight surrounds and a grill and getting it sprayed. Would like to have the originals in new condition if I want to switch them back.

    New set of plastic headlights surrounds and grill off ebay looks like circa $150. The grill surround body panel though might need to buy off a wrecker for another $150ish. So $300 pre spray... Sounds crazy but I'm keen.

    If someone has a good tip on where else to pick those parts up shout out!

    Mate seriously call the dealer and ask for a price!!

    eBay is often more expensive then buying parts from the dealer.
    But no one ever rings the dealer because they assume they will just be expensive, so ring and ask it can't hurt and then you won't have to spray them.

    If you can find the part number to provide them with it will make the call even quicker
