Custom chrome grilles ?

Hi all,
Just got a Freel2 HSE and am enjoying this site seeing what you guys have done with yours.

Mine has Hst bodykit and sidesteps which I like. However, I would really like to change just the grille section for a chrome one. Is there a company out there that does this or makes customized grilles ?
My only other thought was to remove the grille and find a company that can chrome it, if that's possible ?

Great site with great info, has helped me pinpoint loads of bits so far.

Apparently, it seems that to remove the grill means also removing the bumper....

I thought that may be the case after reading other posts which say the grille is heat melted onto the bumper by tabs.

Has anyone actually removed the grille from the HST bodykit bumper ?

The surround seems to have movement like its just slotted in position .

I'll be fitting my new bumper next week Nick, so when I do I'll take some photos of the back of the old one so you can see how the grill is attached
It can be changed but its a lot of playing about with the clips - needing to remove them in such a way so you can melt them back down with a heat gun
