that looks trim, yes i understand now,
i will look to do that to mine also,
brushing you said, does that mean i have to get a slightly abbrassive brush and rub it sown until the chrome comes off? or has it got be spray painted/ lacquer?
You grills stand out and look much better then original, im quite inspired by it

The original poster did not brush anything, it looks like he sparay painted the middle slats and left the chrome frames alone, thus achieving the X5 V8 look.

Did you paint the entire center section silver (like the X5) or did you just brush the chrome edges? I brushed the chrome edges as well as the chrome frames a couple of years ago and I like it much better than chrome. I was going to paint it silver/Titan if I did not like the outcome of the brushing, but I liked it so I just left it at that. Here are some pics:
