Retrofit Alu Styling?

Does anyone know if you can get the VJ4 Matt aluminium styling package retro fitted ? I think its the Front lip spoiler and bottom edge of rear diffuser. Managed to take a nice chunk out of the front of my front lip spoiler when a truck dropped a bag of rubble in front of me and I went right over it. Ive a B8 in Sepang and reckon the alu would look good.

I beleive they are just painted, so if you have to get it painted get it done in Silver. It is not aluminum at all
You can also get it wrapped which can be in a finish closer to the finish of the wingmirrors (if you have OCD like me!).

The front bumper doesn't have a detachable splitter, it's a single piece and simply painted 'Matt Alu' when the option is specced. Here's how the bumper is made up...
Your options are to get it painted, or my preference if I were you is to get it wrapped.
The same goes for the rear diffuser.

Great info - I assumed the reference to alu meant that is what it was made of - how silly of me!!!!
Well, it would have to match the mirrors so a wrap seems the best bet, plus it would cover the nasty gouge too. Dont suppose you know anywhere in Oxfordshire/Warwickshire that would do such a thing ?
