Anyone Painted their Front Grilles

I have an LCI M5 and hate the outer ring of the front grille as its chrome.

Ive tried to buy OEM gloss black grille's with no luck. As its only the outer ring, has anyone tried to do this?

Cheers

IND can help.

I've never understood why people hate chrome in the grille. Cars with no chrome in the grille remind me of this.

I guess people like the painted grille better is because it blends in and flows with the rest of the car. Sort of like comparing the XJR to the standard model

I'm assuming that's not a picture of the actual Cortina your father owned (nothing wrong with the Cortina, just the age/condition of the car behind it)?

Your making me feel very old

Yeah neither are the actuals. Didn't have digital cameras back then so I don't have access to the photos of those cars.

The black grill just makes the car so much more aggressive. Gonna try and do it myself with Plastidip. Let us see how it will turn out.
