Hi UK_Crossfire,

there is an original replacement available - ask your local dealer - it has the look of deep black carbon-fiber (never seen it in real but may go for it). Here is the link (though a german page): http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/m...bs?ext_index=0 so you can see some pics of this set. Alternatively i've talked to the guy who did several paint-jobs for me and he said itīs possible to paint it if the right paint is used. I plan to either replace mine with the original replacement of have the silver one painted in black japan (glossy black as seen on pianos).
