As a suggestion, mine has its Syrmas powder-coated in shiny silver with clear lacquer over the top, instead of the normal Volvo OEM metallic paint. It was done by the garage I bought it from during their preparation for sale. Dunno if that's your sort of thing, but I like it and think it suits my car (in Flint Grey) very well.

The trouble is when you kerb one done like that, the 'spot repair' outfits aren't able to etch off the old paint or match it in their repair, so you end up either running with the scuffs, having a visible repair, or having to get all 4 refurbed to keep them matching. Hence why I was looking - for a second set, also possibly to use with winter tyres.

If you do replace your Syrmas, drop me a PM, I could be interested.
