I have a complete set of the standard black ones. Why do you want to change yours? I think they look nicer on your car

Not too hard if you know what you are doing. Drivers is the trickiest one. If you fancy coming over one weekend, we can swap the lot in a couple of hours

I also have a black boot one and the standard grille too.

There is no such a thing as black boot strip. The car either does not have it, or it has the chrome one. There are 4 holes on the boot where the boot trim clips go in. So you can either spray paint your boot strip black, or titanium grey.

When I said boot bit, I meant the black boot button you press to open it
