Granturismo Window Trim: chrome to black

[Lions12]

Hi all
newbie here with (potentially) a question that has already been answered. I’m looking at a pre-owned Granturismo S in Nero Carbonio. It has the chrome window surrounds and handles. I prefer the black/body colour option. Does anyone know of the potential cost and ease of retro fitting this option? Thoughts welcome and apologies if this is covering old ground.

Its easier to just wrap/spray them black. The OEM option if there is one would be very pricey.

Its an easy job to do I’d reckon around an hour that any detail/wrap ship can do.

Thanks - appreciate the guidance.

Agree with the idea of a wrap and it means you can always remove it if the next owner prefers the chrome. I have had it done on a car not long ago to remove the chrome and it works really well if you find somewhere reputable. Where are you based?

Thanks Chrisb - good to know. Was it a costly job? (if you're happy to share this, of course). I'm based near St Albans.

Chrome window surrounds plus some on the front bumper was £225 all in on a 5 door car. This was the company https://www.wrap-smith.co.uk/

My colleague has recently had his Merc done by them and is equally pleased.

I wouldn’t wrap the handles btw. I have seen it done a couple of times and it doesn’t last very well. I would buy the carbon handle covers from http://www.bansheemotorsport.co.uk/shop/
