This is what I ended up going with. It was very easy to use and I had a lot left over.

My S6 has two parking sensors on the bottom section of the grille. Did you cover them? See photo attached.

Yes I did. I covered them with the plan to cut them out if I needed to, but so far they haven't interfered with the function of the sensors.

Its platinum grey.
The best way to match it is to get your paint shop to match it to paint chips then mix it for you.
I purchased platinum grey off the web & it was miles away.

This is how I did mine.

Nice! I did the same thing to mine last month. Makes a huge difference and a lot nicer IMO. Not enough for me though, I just asked my dealer for a price on the black optics grille. My car is white, so I think the contrast will be insane.

Let me know if you are able to get a price / part number on this.
