Yeah they can be, but id think long and hard, I always think the contrast of the unpainted plastic and bodywork colour works well.

If you go for it though:

The fogs are held by one screw and side clips in to the bumper.

The centre has two clips, that you need to press down, and pull out (just make sure you find the clips, set back behind one of the bars)



Hope it helps.  :happy2:

I really would leave it, the sprayed grilles always look slightly wrong, and tend to get stone chips.

Satin black grille bars.
