Grille suggestions - show me yours...

[NigelO]

I've always had a "woven" stainless grille in the nosecone of my Westie - it looks decent, and is durable and strong.

 

However, I now have my new carbon nosecone (which sadly has to go back, as the paint code for Chrome Yellow was nothing like the actual colour of my car) However, I'm not sure the stainless grille suits the new nosecone and I'm wondering if a different grille would suit better

 

So - looking at the pictures below, do you have any suggestions?

I have a black plastic grill from eBay.

 

It worked out at nearly £8.00.

@NigelO  I Quite like the look of your grille , the diamond shape , and carbon surround  sit well together ,. I personally prefer  yours to  the other 2 

    Have you thought about just  spraying it black ? 
‘if you decide to change it and are getting rid I’ll have it for mine if it fits .

I've just been upgrading my grill to the plastic type from the original Westfield diamond mesh to improve the airflow getting into the nose cone, rough calculations give me 50% better airflow. I would point out that looking at your wire mesh the plastic type would reduce airflow so please take care that you don't make more work. As Weekend Warrior said easiest option would be to spray black and retain cooling.

As others have said spray it black I reckon. Job doned! 👍

I really like that mesh @NigelO, it would looks spot on plaited black.

 

im trying to source grille mesh with minimum air flow restriction and that looks ideal,  where did you get it?

It was already fitted to the car when I bought it, sorry. There's plenty on t'internet though - just search for "woven stainless mesh", or similar

I've changed to new plastic as above as my original Westy one was rusty and broken in places.

 

I personally like the mesh but would also suggest a coat of Matt Black?

As above, just paint your existing grille.

+1 for "paint it black, put it back".
