Really? Wow!

Just goes to show - I never ever bother looking at Nordicar - I consider them to always be far too expensive...

...lesson learned perhaps I should pay a bit more attention!

You might get someone to wrap the grill for you but I think it will probably end up looking a bit gangster. Could work though. You wouldn't need much. The problem might be buying an appropriately sized amount.

I have seen a very good spray chrome paint that is used to convert black (celluose 2 pack paint <= If I remember correctly) into a chrome finish. I can try and find it again if you want but it seemed like it was almost expensive as getting a proper job done when I looked last.

(It was from a custom car paint supplier in France I think)

^^^^This was a solution that looked like it was a serious step up from the rattle can chrome effect solutions available in every automotive shop that usually last a few months before they peel^^^^^
