12″ wall mount tub spout, brushed nickel

All right Breaktimers, someone in here has an encyclopedic knowledge of plumbing catalogs and can steer me… right?
Owner has chosen a Grohe tub faucet setup, Talia with Volo levers. The whole thing has to wall mount because there is not room on the deck (3″ of tile showing). The only BN spout in this group is about 6″ long, not enough to reach into the tub.
I have pestered the salesperson politely and she has come up with a couple of possible items. There have got to be more. It has to be 10-12″ to work, brushed nickel, and hopefully even a semi-realistic match to the already selected stuff.
Ring any bells?

Tried the website? You can buy on line.
Get one of these http://www.everyfaucet.com/Grohe-13617XXX-GRH1101.html just pick the finish, it will be special order.
Look closer, it's not available in BN.
In today's bathrooms that is very limiting. Could this work with some extra pipeing. http://www.grohecatalog.com/product/25596/ valves in the wall and spout in the corner of the tub?
Not out of the question, but it's a cast iron tub and I would have to drill a hole in it. I've run into this problem before but long chrome spouts are easy to find. In this case with the BN it's a bit of a hassle.
3" is tight, but I have installed Grohe Atrio in that limited of a space.
I have also made custom spouts out of stainless pipe bent 90 degrees.
If you went with the Atrio wall mount you could extend the spout out with a brushed stainless nipple that is the same size as the escucheon.

I gotta worry about exact color and texture matches in the metal finishes, etc., and it would be hard for me to get the plumber to make anything custom. Any experience getting a Grohe item in a metal finish that isn't shown as standard? That would save me.
I had an Axor faucet for one of the Nordstrom klan that I had to get in a special finish.
We bought the faucet & gave it to the general to send out & be dipped.
Not sure where they had it done , but it came out pretty good.
BN doesn't bother me too much about having an outfit do it, but there is a gold dipped faucet in Medina that I swear to this day still has my thumb print in the back of it.
