I suspect that the mudguards are produced by a sub-contractor and arrive at MMC in black. I've never seen them unfinished in the factory.
Jays may be able to throw some light on this...he almost lives there...!
Offering them in a body or contrasting colour, or chrome.. would seem to me to be a good "extra" and chargeable at MMC's usual attractive level...
I think they have missed a trick there.
BTW, I'll be in Round Rock TX in a couple of weeks!
They are painted at the factory...........and contrary to popular opinion, I don't live there...I just happen to have a rather pleasant "job" there!
