Model Year 24/25 Facelift exterior black wheel trim - Paint or plastic

[DaveK95]

Hello,

Apologies if this has been covered before, I can only find info on the pre-facelift model.

Does anyone know if the trim around the wheel area is painted black, or if it's a piano black plastic piece?
I've got a scratch, that I'm hoping will polish out.

I've looked online at replacements, just in case, but all I find sites selling upto 2024 trim pieces, which are sold unpainted according to Cox motor parts.

Many thanks

I have the VZN and the black trim parts are painted Seat "Sport Black" paint code L-1XZ I doubt you will get these parts ready painted they usually just come in primer!
I find its best to get a panel spray made up to the paint code at a paint factors and touch up marks in layers using that with a fine brush or spray them yourself the panel spray paint is better for touch ups as it is thinner than paint sticks you will need some thinners to clean any brushes you use!

Thank you, luckily, I managed to polish out most of the scratches
