Brush Aluminum finish front grille?

py0413 · 04-12-2009, 08:35 AM

So there is flat black, CF, painted front grille for sale but has anybody seen a front grille in brush aluminum finish? I am a big fan of brush aluminum and would like to know if such thing exist.

cool idea, it could work!
maybe try doing it yourself? sand them down to look brushed?

I can't find the link, but someone on the forum did this on his AW M3. It looked surprisingly good. I'll keep searching and see if I can find it.

I did this to a pair of chrome mirror covers on a previous car. It turned out really well

I'd definitely be interested in purchasing a set of that if it becomes available. Also wondering if there is any side mirror in brush aluminum finish similar to audi's s/rs side mirror.

awesome!! Thanks a lot buddy!!

I should consider doing this myself soon if I decide not to go for the matte black looking.
