The side vents fitted to my car are just the standard plain grey affair, the question is, should I paint the complete vent body colour or only paint the vent surround ?

Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

'Surround only' I'd say  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

^^^ +1

Yes surround only +2

iirc the vents can be easily split (surrounds from the vents) making the whole job much easier.

Beware

Make sure you pull them off in the correct method.... otherwise you'll be asking for cheap 2nd hand ones on here! RRS gone
