The only front grill is an add on most often installed to cover nose damage.
Kind of makes it look like a Peugeot ........

Or Alfa.
No Dave, a grill is something that you cook on, a grille is the proper term for the air inlets/adornments on the front of a car. 
Stolen from gallery.

Thats what I was thinking. If so, They are actually anodized aluminum . My originals were chipped and scruffy so i painted them at first .When I later had time ,I took them apart and hand polished them. Look's much better polished.
Here it is painted.

Assuming you are referring to the "nostrils". Anodized aluminum, semi satin finish. But polished or chrome might look good too.
