think halfords sells pinstripe stuff in silver, usually near all the keyrings and stuff...

well it is at my local halfrauds...

or you could do it propperly and spray it with some paint... tape off the section you dont want silver and give it a few coats... thats what i'd do...

i think it'd look better to spray the bits you want chrome without masking off the rest of the grill cos that'll take time.. once dry mask off the the small rim you want chrome and spray the rest metallic black, then laquer the whole thing to hell and back.. will give a well nice contrast and a shiny finish :)
