Its quite easy mate:

Once you've got the grille out clean it thoroughly and let it dry. Once dry I used 1 can of Grey plastic Primer. I did even sweeping motions until the whole grille was grey. Once that had dried I used two cans of Black bumper and trim paint in the same manor until the whole grille was black and the coat was even. Once it had dried (only about an hour) I put the badge back on and fitted the Grille back in place.

Any questions just PM me.

You would need to do the whole section like what the linea grille covers in order for it to look any good on a black car, similar to what ms design have done with the demo car for the sport kit, still doesnt look great though, although that might have something to do with the colour scheme shown

What you could do is paint the grille grey and have a vinyl to match. For example you could have a gunmetal grey or something. And add a chrome trim around the outside of the grille.
