Cerium grill vs brushed alu window trim

On my 330i I have the aluminium brushed window trim because I don’t like the high gloss window trim. My car has the standard chrome/black kidney grill. I would like to replace the grill with one that matches the aluminium brushed color better. Does anybody know if the cerium grill would match? Or is that completely different? Any other options you can think about?

It wouldn't match. Cerium has a bit of a bronze hue to it.

Perhaps get your grille surround wrapped to match the window trim. You could also have the window trim wrapped in the same vinyl as the grille surround and pick a unique color like a different sort of brushed or satin silver/gray for a unique look. I have had window trim on an E93 professionally wrapped and it looked like it came from the factory that way so it can be done nicely.
