I think its a chrome surround with black mesh and slash off a later model.

I painted mine matte black and left the chrome surround. I also moved the horns.

Sure I asked this before everything was lost, but what type of paint did you use? Really like the look of that in black.

decided to go with what MIKESC70T5 did and just mask the badge off but spray the rest black, did it this afternoon makes the front end look much better!

thanks
