Chrome grill paint? MK8 Fiesta Zetec

[ethan]

Hello all,
I was wondering whether it is possible to paint the grill of my 2017 MK8 Fiesta as it is chrome and I don't think it looks too good.
This is what it looks like (3 door + same colour as mine):

Can I or should I paint this grill to black? Do you guys think it would look good and would you recommend this?
Thanks!

I Plastidipped mine...easy, but remember to clean it really good with alcohol & block off the rad if you paint in situ.

Yes, because I personally do not like the base 'bar' type grilles.

There are some older, early naturally aspirated 1.6 liter R2 Fiestas running in our rally series here which still have the base grilles, and I wish that they would get something like that link just to look better.

I have an idea why! Its a bottom of the barrel economy car...Why would they waste money on that? It would eat into their SUV and Pickem up truck profits! or you could get fancy and do what steve said..plastidip it and get wild with the colors scheme!

If you look at the history of the Fiesta in the US, the regular models got chrome grills when all the other Fords like Fusion, Focus had them. It was a full-line "family" look.
