As above I have some stone chips on my carbon fibre grill and some very slight lacquer peel, what or who is the best option for this? Thanks.

The best option would have been to protect it with PPF if it is that vulnerable.

As far as repairing it you may stuggle, if the chips are in the laquer and not in the CF itself then you could possible get a paint shop to remove it, clean it up and laquer it again.

Post a picture to give us a better idea.

Really surprised to see here on Pistonheads that nobody has had a carbon fibre part repaired..

Those chips look to be in a lacquer and not damage to CF, it certainly doesn’t look like bare CF.

I suspect a body shop would probably sand, fill, sand and polish.
