I know its not vary professional.
Painted inside strips with chrome paint,then used 5mm chrome moulding that is for car door guards.
Really like the look of your grill and car.
Whent to a breakers yard today nothing there,will try again.

I really want to chrome my front grill. Do you have to take it out or is it easy enough to do while its still installed?
