Hi Dan,
try taking the colour version.
Open it in PS (any version) and select Hue/Saturation adjustment - 
select green in the top field - take the eyedropper at the bottom left 
and pick the green background - shift the saturation slider all the way 
left.
Voila!  the wonderfully steely blue and chrome effect is kept against a 
greyscale background - takes about 30 seconds and IMO looks not bad at all.
Cheers
Douglas
