Okay so im on a hunt to do this mod. I want the lower grills of my 4.8 to match the front grill on my hood. I have been wanting to do this for a while and was to scared to simply go into a paint shop becasue it might not come out right.

But now from an earlier thread i found out this can actually be done. So im assking, please if anyone knows about this option at all, can you guys provide me with a part number or a color code(of the front grill) so i can maybe either replace the lower grills if they already come aluminum/titanium, or simply get them painted by using that "color code"

Here is the best pic i could find, I know this picture could be somewhat photoshopped, but It kind of explains what i want.

You will have to paint the grills.Best to remove the bumper and if possible ,the plastic mesh behind your lower grills.This way you have full access to these and can work and spray them.

Have a look at the here for the Titanium colour match.

I did not find the Titan. part # . If you have to go painting route; then suggest buying another set and putting it, in case you change your mind. They are not that expensive. Realoem link

All X5 2004 sport packages and 4.8is came with titanium or silver colored bumper grills. they are very inexpensive and i would by them like that intead of painting black ones. Just go to the dealer and order a set and tell them it is for a 2004 4.4 sport. and it will be the titanium color. They swithed back to black in 2005. But i do like the silver better
