Mine are a combi of the 2... black powder coat with a chrome wet paint and lacquer finish. Not quite as resilient as powder coat, but tougher than diamond cut. The care advice I have been given is to simply wash them with a good quality shampoo. Can't really leave brake dust on there too long.

Cheers Zip, I generally have my car hand washed every couple of weeks so my alloys still look pretty good for their age. But still not as nice as yours! If you don't mind me asking how much is very expensive?

Singh,

How much did Audi charge for the lower grills mate? I need one (not stolen, lost over a speed bump).

Cheers

It was about £50-60
