Need info on NIGHT package - can it be removed/replaced?

I've found a car that's almost perfect for me except it has the NIGHT package. I'm wondering it that can be trivially changed from the black trim to silver.

Looking at the parts diagram, I do -not- see variants of the intake vent (bumper) trim in black, so do they just delete it for the NIGHT package?

I'm trying to figure out what the difference is and how to "UNDO" a NIGHT package if you didn't want it on a 2018 S63 Coupe, no CARBON package.

Thanks
Dave

You might look into vinyl wrap as a relatively simple way to achieve the look you want. A professional detailer experienced in vinyl wrapping can make trim into just about any color you want and I assume a chrome vinyl would be possible. Good luck.

You might also be able to trade trim parts with someone who doesn't have, but wants the "night style".

Otherwise the standard (non-CF) trim pieces are not very expensive, although still would be cheaper to wrap them. If the night styling parts are removed you can get the part#s off them, and it will be easy to find the corresponding pieces in the regular finish.

You can wrap it or trade with someone who wants black trim. I am sure there are lots of people who would be wiling to trade. The tricky part would just be removing the trim pieces, since they are aluminum and can bend easily.
