Painted radiator support (Cooling Shroud)

Just wanted to show you guys the cooling shrout I got repainted by my dealer, just to match the rest of the engine bay.
I really hated the ugly aluminium shroud that’s under the bonnet.
Engine bay looks so much better now!

I know some of you would say, ‘why would you need that, nobody sees it?’. But I do (I keep the engine bay as clean as the rest of my car, on the pictures here my car has 17K km’s)
Look at it this way, you like your partner to wear nice underwear too, and nobody see’s that neither. :-D

What am I supposed to be looking at? What's a cooling shroud?

Ah, haven't got my car yet (waiting to clear UK customs), so haven't seen under the bonnet yet. Does look better painted

Correct.. as I don’t know what paint exactly. I had my Bmw dealership do it for me, so it’s warantied.
