   wouldnt mind getting it down after looking over dannys car loads,
   if car sails through MOT, it makes the world of sense to do it if its around 200 quid

    No, it's a desire item,
    from those 1.1's, they have a color coded grille as standard.
    
    
    ...so everyone thinks 400 quid is a complete rip off?

    I reckon you should pay a max of £200 for a good job. Had you thought about just doing the bumpers and leaving the side trims grey???
