a few days ago i saw an X5 which had the chrome parts on its radiator grid in black. Does anybody know if (and if yes: where) you can buy these black parts and replace the chrome parts by those or if you have to lacquer the chrome parts into black yourself?

On non-M cars, this always looks to me like someone stole the BMW's grill during the night, but then tastes do differ. =)
