Hi All, I have a 2012 WT Zetec. I hate the chrome vent in the grill, prefer the blackout look. Does anyone know where I can get a pair of black vent surrounds for replacement ? Or would respraying be an option ? Thanks

I don't think you can get a non-chrome alternative. Painting might be your best option.
Would an LX/CL grille fit? You could probably find one at a wreckers from a "dead" Fiesta. Otherwise $318 from Ford for a new one.

look at plastidip as a quick easy spray paint that can be removed later.

Thanks for your replies, both are very viable. The LX/CL Grill would give the Fiesta Metal appearance. The Plastidip would save the purchase of another grill, I might have to 'sleep on it'....geez !!
