V10 Plus - Wheel swap & Matte grey bumper parts

[iluvmercs]

Morning all.

My first thread in this neck of the rs246 woods, so please be gentle

After driving one 18 months ago, I have been tentatively looking at the V10 Plus as an enjoyable place to go after my RS4. I like the cars, but I am not a fan of the matte grey finish on front bumper air intakes, front grille and the rear number plate surround.
I much prefer the gloss black of the standard V10.
From what I understand, the front bumper parts are easily replaced, but is this true from the rear section, or is it integral to the bumper?
Would anyone know a ball-park cost of these parts/

Also, I'm not a huge fan of the standard Plus alloy wheel design, much preferring the 5 twin spoke design of the earlier V8s.
I know this design was used on the GT and V8 Limited, but to make sure would anyone please be able to confirm that these wheels would be a simple straight swap, there being no change in off set between pre and post facelift?

Many thanks in advance for answering these small queries

Hi Darren, and welcome over from PH
The twin spoke wheels are (was) an option on the V10+ (as above), so should be a straight swap as long as you find some that are >13MY as the design of the wheels changed slightly at this point

there will be a few R8 owners that may think the opposite and be up for straight swaps,R8talk.com would be your best bet.

Thanks for the replies, guys, and the R8 section welcome

I've seen those facelift twin spokes, but much prefer the original V8 design - thinner spokes and circular centre caps make it appear a cleaner look to me. Maybe I'm just weird

I hadn't considered a straight swap with other owners, thanks.

Darren, are your wheels titan or black in colour?.

Thanks.

Sadly I don't yet own an R8.
Just hoping to answer a couple of queries at my early stage of hunting.
