Australia Grill for my black cooper & tow bar issue advice please.

Ok 2 things...
Basically I have a cooper (black) with the silver grill at front but would like it to be black.
I believe there are 2 parts to the grill that are silver, it's like the top part near the engine bay and below the lower part.
1. Where can I purchase a new grill (i'm in sydney) or a nicer grill and are there different after market ones i can choose from?
2. Can i install it myself and take it off or is it a big job getting the grills off?
3. What sort of price range would i be looking at?
4. At worst case, would it be a big job for me to simply remove the grill, spray it and put it back on?

Next issue is my mini has a tow bar installed.

It's a real pain because it's never used and basically whenever I blow a bulb like a reverse bulb I literally have to have the tow bar removed to get into the bulb area to replace it!

I asked about it and was told that if the tow bar is removed, I have to replace it with the part that the tow bar originally replaced because without that bit of metal there if I was hit from behind in an accident basically I would be eating my knees.
Does anyone know of any mini wreckers around Sydney?
Or have any advice?

Thanks guys...
