Or do as I did on my Bro's and get red trim tape from halfords, and apply it using a hair dryer. Perfect job in under 10 mins ;)

Mine is 10mm wide detailing tape from halfrauds. I replace it every year to keep it bright, looks great and takes no time at all, easier with the grill off 8)

The Tape is much easier to replace and the red beading does fade after a couple of years which can be a pain.
I personally think the beading looks better having seen both but the tape is the easier to fit/replace.
