today sanded down the filler so it was nice and smooth and keeping shape/profile of the trim,then used prep wipes to clean the surface then used halfords filler primer to make sure all the tiny dings were filled left to dry(initialy with help of hair dryer for about 4 hours.
After four hours used grey(finest grade) scotchbrite (from halfords) prep wiped again then sprayed with halfords red primer amazingly not to far off the final colour thats all for now folks

If you use the halford Mars Red over the red primer you have already used the match to the original is very very close.

I sprayed mine with red primer and Mars Red No1 (L31B) as specified by VW as shown in the pic. The outcome was a match for the OE grille part I have.

Latest instalment well let red primer harden over nite then sanded it back today with some 1200 wet and dry then sprayed them inside and out came out pretty well.
All thats left is to cut back and polish them tommorow and re-fit to grill
