| Yes, I've spoken to the dealer who has given me a few names. It seems like it is quite a common thing to get done. |

Thanks RRSman.
Yes, we have that option here too for around $2500. Unfortunately the build was fixed before I had a chance to specify it. |

I'm considering have the side sills and bumpers painted to match the body colour (Corris Grey) when my car arrives.
