Possible to replace silver screen surround?

Hi, I dropped my Galaxy Note 3 at the weekend and although the display is working it is about 10% of its usual brightness.

The LCD is going to need replacing.

Can anyone tell me whether it will be possible to also replace the grooved silver plastic screen surround?

I can't find it on any of the parts sites.

Many thanks

Which websites did you check and which search terms did you use to find the parts when you went on those websites?

I searched Google with:

samsung parts "galaxy note 3" "Back Housing Frame" bezel

but have been unsuccessful.

Do you have a definitive site that will have the part? (a picture of it would be very handy so I can check)

I think you'll have to replace the whole frame unfortunately rather than search for a bezel.

I don't think the bezel is made separately I'm afraid. You would have to find a retailer who would agree to try to take the bezel off for you specially without damaging one of the frames he has them on, and for business reasons I dont think they would sell you one without the bezel because of the economic situations of have to try to sell the frame to someone else without the bezel, and the fact they won't be able to sell that frame at as high a price.
