Online vs In person
More accessible, flexible, and quicker. These are all words used by people who have purchased a car online recently but is it worth it? In this blog we shall be comparing buying a car online/ to buying one in person and determining which one is better.

Buying a car online is more comforting and accessible for the client as they complete everything from the picking of the car to the transaction from the comfort of their home, the websites shall also be accessible 24/7 and 365 days a year therefore allowing more time for a decision to be made as there is no worry of having to keep going back and forth to the dealership. Another benefits you get from buying a car digitally rather than in a dealership in-person is it allows you to compare prices with numerous companies about the same car, this allows the client to look at numerous websites selling the car, allowing them to see the cheapest and the best deal on the car where as if you buy the car in erson the car may only be accessible in a few dealerships and it’s not guaranteeing that they are close to you. Also, the client is not going to drive to numerous different dealerships as it is not time efficient and will cost money to do so. 

However, in comparison to this if purchasing a car in person the benefits are it allows for face-to-face negotiation between the salesperson and the client, which can potentially lead towards the salesperson being more lenient with the price. An in-person purchase also allows for an opportunity to test drive the car to see if you like the car and want to go forward with the purchase. You can also immediately drive the car away once you have purchased it whereas if you’ve purchased it online you must wait for the delivery to be sent to you where you are unable to control how long it will take to get to you. On the other hand if it has been purchased online in some instances you are ale to go to the dealership and pick up the car yourself the problem with this is that the dealership is not always open meaning that you will have to wait longer if its not open where as if you go to purchase in-person when the dealership is open you get it the same day or at the latest the next.

Final Decision
We here at ZunSports think that think that it is best to purchase a car in person. This is because it allows you to see the car and have a test/ mock run with the car to help you determine whether you like the car. As with buying the car online when it shows up and you cannot do much about it as you have already paid for it so make sure if you are going to purchase a vehicle online you are certain that you’re going to like it.

If you buy a car online or in-person make sure you head over to Zunsport, as we produce and fit stainless steel vehicle grilles that are a key factor in protecting your car, as they work effectively in any conditions keeping your vehicle radiators and inter-coolers safe and reliable. The stainless-steel wire mesh allows the radiators to still be able to cool down as it still allows for air flow which is a common factor is cars.

The call of the open road, the salty breeze, and the endless horizon – there's something uniquely captivating about a drive that hugs the coastline. Forget the fastest route; we're talking about the journeys where the destination is almost secondary to the breathtaking views unfolding outside your window. From dramatic cliff-top passes to sun-drenched coastal highways, this blog will help you to discover the world's most spectacular scenic routes.

The romantic roads – The Romantic Road in Germany was established in the 1950s to boost tourism after World War II. The Romantic Road is named so because it evokes a sense of fascination and a feeling of being transported back in time. This scenic route invites travellers to journey through storybook villages, historic castles, and lush countryside at a relaxed pace—typically spanning 3 to 7 days for a smooth and enjoyable drive. The ideal times to visit are spring (May–June) and autumn (September–October).

These months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and beautiful scenery, especially with blooming flowers in spring or fall foliage. A scenic route known for its picturesque towns, historic castles, and charming landscapes which makes the trip worth it.

The French Riviera - The French Riviera, (coastline in Italian) began its rise to fame in the late 18th century when European aristocrats, especially the British, discovered its sunny shores and mild winters. To truly appreciate this enchanting coastal region, you’ll want at least one week to follow the full itinerary. We would recommend a minimum week to do this full itinerary. You could condense it down to 5-days, but honestly, the joy of the French Riviera is the slowness of life on the coast. If you’re considering booking one of our self drive French Riviera Tours, our favourite months to visit are May, June, September, and October., as most of the plants and flowers come into full blossom making the views even more incredible than they already are. The road trip consists of driving along the stunning Mediterranean coast, exploring charming towns and villages, and enjoying the region's natural beauty and cultural attractions. 

Iceland Ring Road - The Icelandic Ring Road was first completed in 1974, and it was marked at 821 continuous miles around the island in one big loop allowing connection between communities on the island. The Icelandic Ring Road, officially known as Route 1, was completed in 1974 and it loops around the entire island—approximately 1,332 km (828 miles) connecting nearly all of Iceland’s towns in a continuous ring. While driven straight through it could be done in about 17–20 hours, most travellers spend around 3–4 days. The best time to drive Iceland's Ring Road is generally during the summer months (June-August) due to the best weather, long daylight hours, and all roads typically being open making for the journey to be as relaxing as possible. Along the way, you can expect to see waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, charming coastal villages, and unique geological formations. 

Make sure that your car is ready for the long journey. Here at Zunsport, we produce and fit stainless steel vehicle grilles that are key for a long drive as they work efficiently through all weather and environment conditions making them very reliable. The materials used allows for more airflow to get into your car making sure it doesn't overheat which is common when driving for a long periods of time. For more information about the grilles, visit the website.

If you're looking to take the best possible care of your car through the winter, you need to think about winter auto grille covers. They can offer some important, but often overlooked, benefits when it comes to keeping your car running smoothly and making it more pleasant for you to drive through the winter months.

But what are they, and what do they do?

What Are They?

Grille covers are, as the name implies, covers designed to fit snugly over the grille of your car. They come in various shapes and sizes - you can find universal ones which are usually cheaper, but offer a looser fit; specially made aftermarket ones; and some manufacturers even offer them as OEM parts.

What Do They Do?

A car grille cover will have several benefits through the colder months, primarily helping to prevent ice building up in your ventilation system. This can happen anywhere, depending on the conditions, whether it be overnight while your vehicle is parked up, or even when driving if it's cold enough.

Another common issue during winter is dirt, grime, and grit being thrown off the road - winter is a time when salt is used more frequently, which means there is a higher chance of the front of your car being caked in filth as you drive. A grille cover can help prevent any ingress into your engine.

Something else to consider is how quickly your vehicle heats up on a cold day. Depending on the vehicle you have, it may take a while between you turning the heating system on and actually getting hot air through the vents. No matter what vehicle you’re driving, there is also some loss through your grille to the outside world. A grille cover will help to keep the heat generated by the engine circulating around the engine bay, which means a warmer car interior. You’ll use less energy heating your car this way, and therefore save money in the long run.

Why Zunsport Grille Covers?

When looking for a car grille cover, winter drivers should always invest in the best quality they can afford in order to get the best possible results. That means an investment in Zunsport grille covers. Our grille covers are made from durable stainless steel, which means that they offer increased protection and durability against even the harshest winter driving conditions. It also means they're easier to clean up to a high shine.

We use manufacturer measurements to ensure a proper fit to your vehicle, improving its looks while offering increased protection - so for a car grille cover you can rely on, choose Zunsport every time.

Nothing sums up the UK quite like its unpredictable weather. Come rain or shine and through wind or snow, your car is at risk from the changing elements. Weatherproofing is the answer, and there are a number of solutions to keep your car safe.

1. Cover It Up

A problem for those who don't have a garage or sheltered car parking space is exposing the car to extreme weather conditions such as hot sun, snow, rain and hailstones. A car cover is an ideal solution, offering round the clock protection against the elements. A good cover made of thick fabric, cloth or even inflatable material can protect your car from sun warping, overheating and damage from hail and snow, which can save you a significant amount on unnecessary garage costs.

2. Add A Floor Mat

It's not just the exterior of the car you need to worry about in adverse weather, but the interior, too. An all-weather floor mat is a must-have, not just protecting the interior from freezing temperatures, but also rough conditions and general wear and tear. Made from hard-wearing material, the mat effectively traps water, plus materials such as mud, sand and road grit. A big advantage is that they are impervious to cracking, hardening and curling, even in sub-zero temperatures.

3. Warm It Up

During the colder seasons, warming up your car helps considerably to keep it running, even in perishing temperatures. The problem with this, however, is how to accomplish this without draining the battery or wasting fuel. There are a couple of ways around this; one is to aim the heating vents at the windshield, resulting in faster thawing of the windows and increased warmth. The other useful trick for more modern cars is to turn on the air conditioning during defrosting, essentially converting it into a dehumidifier.

4. Attach Zunsport Grilles

Attaching a Zunsport grille to your car helps to protect it from adverse weather conditions. The grilles are made from high-quality stainless steel woven wire mesh, adding that extra strength to repel the likes of stones, leaves, road grit and other detritus caused by bad weather. Stones can potentially affect radiators (by smashing through the original plastic grille) and intercoolers (by entering through the lower aperture in the front bumper). Meanwhile, accumulated leaves via the front bumper's cooling apertures can cause brake corrosion. Zunsport grilles are capable of preventing these and minimising damage costs, adding greater longevity to your car. Shop our range of high-quality grilles at Zunsport today.

With the winter months beginning to creep in, now is the time to ensure that your car heater is working properly. You don’t want to be shivering in your car during long journeys - it’ll make those early get-ups for work that much harder. That’s why our team at Zunsport have created this blog post on what to do if your car heaters suddenly stop working and how to stop them from breaking again in the future.

What Should You Do If Your Car Heaters Stop Working?

If your car heaters stop working, you should check as to whether the grilles are clogged as this is one of the most common culprits. Over time, radiators can become full of dirt and grime from normal wear and use which can inevitably stop airflow from getting out, meaning that it doesn’t work. If this happens there are a variety of tools that you can use to shift it. For example, you can run heavy-duty cleaning solutions over the top of the radiator (but do this only when the engine is cool), or you can use a little brush to sweep out the little bits of debris. However, these are short term solutions and there’s nothing that they can do to prevent your car radiators from becoming clogged again in the future.

How To Stop Your Car Heaters From Breaking Again

If you’re looking for a longer-term solution to stop your car heater from breaking again, it’s worth thinking about replacing your radiator grille. At Zunsport, our radiator grilles are specially designed to reduce the amount of dirt interfering with your system, keeping systems clean and looking brand new. We do this by creating our grilles from stainless steel with a choice of a steel finish or a black nylon finish. This material is then interwoven with rounded wires that are packed together in a way that makes it harder for dirt and dust to penetrate.

Incidentally, our grilles also allow for smoother airflow through the apertures to help reduce the possibility of the radiator overheating, stopping breakages caused by the heater valve sticking. However, this practicality doesn’t compromise on style as each grille makes for a sleek and modern addition to any make and model car.

Range Rovers are designed to cope with the toughest challenges while still looking great (and feeling comfortable). That’s a lot to ask of any car so every component has to play a part in making it happen. This includes your grille. With that in mind, here is a brief guide to what you need to know about upgrading your Range Rover grille.

How The Range Rover Grille Influences Performance

Grilles play a vital role in enhancing airflow, thus promoting engine cooling. This, in turn, optimizes the intercooler's functionality. Additionally, grilles act as a barrier against debris that would otherwise enter the engine compartment and cause impact damage.

These are both often major considerations for Range Rover owners. A Range Rover engine may have to stand up to long hours of very hard work. This means a Range Rover grille has to be able to deliver highly effective and reliable cooling.

It also needs to be able to deliver top-level protection against debris and not just road debris. Range Rovers are expected to perform as well off the road as they do on it. That means their grilles have to cope with both environments. A Range Rover Sport front grille, for example, typically has to filter out all kinds of engine hazards.

Zunsport's Design Approach

Zunsport’s car grilles balance functionality with aesthetics. On the functional side, they promote the smoothest airflow and the closest protection against debris. This means they provide the highest level of protection for your vehicle and, hence, your wallet.

For example, investing in a Range Rover Sport grill replacement from Zunsport can actually save you money by preventing damage that would need to be repaired. By extension, it will also save you from losing access to your vehicle while it is being repaired.

On the aesthetic side, Zunsport grilles are created in a wide range of styles, materials, and finishes. This means that you can always find the perfect option for both your vehicle and your personal style. If you want a design that is exclusive to you and your vehicle, then you can have Zunsport's team of specialists create a custom design, especially for you.

Zunsport offers Range Rover grilles for the front, back and side vents. You can use them individually or as a complete set. If you want, you can start with just one grille (e.g. a Range Rover Sport front grille) and add more once you’ve had time to experience its benefits.

Unbeatable Commitment To Quality And Service

All Zunsport car grilles come with a lifetime guarantee. For clarity, this guarantee applies regardless of what you do with your car. That means you can go off-roading and/or towing and know that you are still covered.

You’ll also have the backing of Zunsport’s customer support team. They’ll be happy to help you all the way from your initial enquiry to purchase, installation and beyond. You’re highly unlikely to have any problems fitting your new Range Rover grille. Most Zunsport car grilles can be fitted without removing any parts, and they come with full, clear instructions.

If, however, you do need some help, you can just pick up the phone and be guided through the process by a real person. Alternatively, Zunsport can arrange to have the grille fitted for you.

Upgrading your car grille is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve both its performance and its visual appeal. If you have a popular model of car, there’s a strong chance that you’ll have a range of pre-made grilles you can buy off the shelf. If, however, you want the absolute best performance and aesthetics, custom made car grills are usually by far the best option.

What Makes Custom Made Grills Special?

Custom made grills are special because they are made to be a perfect match for both the car and the driver. This meansthat they can deliver benefits regular car grilles just can’t match.

The Benefits of Custom-Made Car Grilles

The benefits of custom-made car grilles can generally be grouped into three categories. These are performance, quality and aesthetics.

Performance

Essentially, custom-made grilles deliver the same performance benefits as regular grilles but at a much higher level. This is because they can be created to standards that regular grills just can’t match.

For example, Zunsport grilles are designed with round mesh. This has two important benefits. Firstly, it promotes smooth airflow to your engine compartment. This improves your engine’s protection against overheating.

Robust engine cooling is particularly important if you drive at higher speeds and/or for extended periods. Even if your car has cooling ducts on its underside, having a front grille is still a more effective solution.

Secondly, it provides close protection against road debris. This means that key components such as your radiator and intercooler are less likely to be damaged.

Quality

Custom-made car grilles are usually made from the highest-quality materials. At present, stainless steel is a very popular choice. It can be made corrosion-resistant with suitable finishes, is highly durable and has visual appeal. Zunsport offers stainless steel custom-made grilles in a variety of finishes, including electropolished and black nylon options.

Aesthetics

While the main benefits of custom-made car grilles are practical, it’s fair to say that, for many people, their aesthetic benefits are a pleasant bonus. Investing in a custom-made grille allows you to personalise your car and hence make it truly exclusive to you.

How Zunsport Can Help With Custom Made Car Grilles in the UK

Zunsport has a specialist team of grille designers and manufacturers who can deliver a bespoke service for anyone looking for custom-built grille sets.

All our custom-made car grilles are made to be easy to install at home. They are delivered with everything you need to fit them included in the box. No special tools or skills are required. In fact, you probably won’t even need to remove your bumpers (or any other parts).If you do find yourself struggling, you can call our helpline for friendly assistance from real people.

Our helpline team will also be happy to help you with any questions you have before you place your order. For example, they can advise about what grille would be best for your car and what options are available for it. This ensures you can be confident that you’ve bought the right product for your needs and wants. They can even arrange for professional fitters to install it for you if fitting your new car grille is not convenient for you.

Driving a car with a cracked grille is very likely to result in further damage to your car. It may also be unsafe and potentially illegal. It’s therefore vital that you repair or replace a cracked grille as quickly as possible. Here is a quick guide to what you need to know to decide whether repair or replacement is the better option for you.

Why Car Grilles Matter

Car grilles protect key internal components such as the radiator, the intercooler and the brakes. A damaged radiator and/or a damaged intercooler can increase the risk of your car overheating. This can lead to engine damage, which can be very expensive to put right. It can also lead to corroded brakes, which can be extremely dangerous.

Assessing Car Grille Damage

Minor cracks are generally a cosmetic issue rather than a performance or safety issue. By contrast, deeper and/or longer cracks need to be dealt with as a priority. They are probably already damaging your car and if they’re not they probably soon will be.

If the damage leads to your car becoming unsafe, you may find yourself breaking the law. This may, in turn, render your insurance invalid.

Deciding Between Repair and Replacement

With modern car grilles, replacement is usually the only practical option. This is because their internal workings are extremely complex and therefore extremely complicated. They are therefore not the sort of items you can fix by searching “How to fix a cracked car grill”.

In fact, they are not the sort of items that a regular garage is likely to repair so looking for “car grill repair near me” is unlikely to help either. By contrast, replacing a car grille is very straightforward. Most people can do it at home or find a local garage to do it for them.

Furthermore, if you buy a new grille, you will get a guarantee with it. This will tell you how long the manufacturer expects it to last. By contrast, if you repair a grille, you may find yourself being forced to replace it after just a short time anyway.

It’s also worth noting that metal car grilles can usually be recycled. This means that, from a sustainability perspective, there’s very little difference between replacement and repair.

The Practicalities of Installing a New Car Grille

Installing a new car grille essentially just involves taking out the old grille and putting in the new one. Many people will be able to do it themselves. Zunsport grilles come with everything you need to fit them. This includes full instructions and a helpline. If, however, you’d prefer to have a professional fit your new grille, we can arrange that for you too.

The Porsche 911 Turbo is widely regarded as an automotive icon thanks to its unmistakable silhouette and spirited performance. Investing in a custom Porsche 911 engine grille can enhance both your car’s appearance and its performance. By doing so, it can help you save money.

Sticks And Stones Can Break Your Engine’s Bones

A grille’s main function is to draw air into your vehicle’s engine to help keep it cool. Unfortunately, a regular Porsche 911 engine grille with standard Porsche grille mesh can let all items of debris slip through, particularly at higher speeds.

These items may be small (e.g., stones) but they can do a lot of damage to your engine. This, in turn, can do a lot of damage to your wallet. Investing in a Zunsport grille for your Porsche is a low-cost and convenient way to protect against this damage.

Optimising Airflow For Peak Performance

A standard Porsche 911 engine grille is designed to deliver a consistent flow of air to the engine. A bespoke Porsche 911 engine grille takes this to the next level. A Zunsport custom grille for your Porsche will channel air precisely where it's needed. By doing so it will minimise both turbulence and resistance.

In other words, using a Zunsport grille for your Porsche will enable you to get the absolute most out of its famous turbocharged engine.

Making Your Engine More Efficient

Making your engine more efficient improves both your immediate driving experience and your overall experience as the owner of a Porsche 911 Turbo. For example, when an engine is working at maximum efficiency it can also deliver maximum responsiveness. This makes for an improved driving experience, particularly at higher speeds.

Furthermore, the more efficiently an engine works, the more efficiently it uses fuel. This can reduce your motoring costs as well as lowering your carbon footprint. Another benefit of running your engine efficiently is that it helps to minimise wear and tear. This, in turn, can help to extend the lifespan of your engine.

Blending Tradition With Modernity

When you buy a Porsche 911 Turbo, you buy a unique legacy of design and performance. Honouring and preserving that legacy is often a high priority for Porsche 911 Turbo owners.

At the same time, however, it’sjust as important to recognise and respect the present and, indeed, the future. Adding a custom Porsche 911 engine grille can be the perfect way to do this. It preserves the vehicle’s iconic look while adding a modern, future-facing touch.

Making Your Vehicle More Individual

On the one hand, the Porsche911 Turbo is a genuine automotive icon. On the other hand, off the forecourt, one Porsche 911 Turbo looks pretty much identical to another. Adding a custom Zunsport grille to your Porsche is a simple way to give your car a unique touch.

Zunsport grilles are easy to install. There is no need to remove bumpers or any other parts. What’s more, if you change your mind (or sell your vehicle), they are equally easy to remove.

BMW has produced some of the world’s top-performance cars. Out of all of these, the M3 and M4 stand out as two of the brand’s most iconic models. This is largely due to their outstanding engine performance.

Powerful engines need powerful cooling systems. In particular, they need best-in-class grilles. Investing in a custom M series BMW grille can deliver several benefits for your vehicle and hence for you. Here is a quick guide to what you need to know.

Why The BMW M3/M4 Have Become Icons

BMW summarises its philosophy as “sheer driving pleasure” and that is exactly what both the BMW M3 and M4 deliver. The foundation of that driving pleasure is the high-revving engines. These deliver impressive levels of both horsepower and torque.

That, however, is not, in itself, unique. What really makes the BMW M3 and M4 special is the fact the engines are precision-engineered to combine power with finesse. The end result is truly exceptional handling both on the straight and when cornering.

This, in turn, is the basis for the BMW M3 and M4’s famous versatility. These are vehicles that perform as well on the track as they do on the road. They are also vehicles that can adapt effortlessly to different types of roads. For example, you can zip around city corners during the week and head out to straight, empty country roads at the weekend.

The Price Of Top-Performance

When top-performance engines are giving their all, they generate a lot of heat. The high-revving engines in the BMW M3 and M4 are no exception to this rule. This means that they need effective heat dissipation and, preferably, active cooling. If this fails, engine performance (and useful life) will be impacted.

BMW’s famous twin-kidney grille is actually specifically engineered to help keep the engine cool (as well as looking cool). Even so, if you plan to push your BMW M3 or M4 to its limits, then it’s advisable to upgrade to a BMW custom grille.

The Advantages Of Using A Zunsport Grille

A custom M series BMW grille can provide enhanced airflow directly to the engine bay. This provides superior cooling and, hence, better protection for your engine. It also improves aesthetics and brand recognition.

Optimising and Protecting Your Engine

Like humans, engines can only perform at their best when they can keep their cool. The more they are challenged, the more difficult that becomes. That’s when the advanced cooling offered by a BMW M stripes grille really delivers maximum benefit.

In the short term, it optimises the performance of your engine and enables it to deliver consistent, reliable performance. Over the long term, it protects it from becoming prematurely worn. This saves you money and is good for the environment too.

On a more direct level, installing a BMW custom grille gives your engine extra protection from road debris such as stones. These could otherwise get sucked in and damage it.

Aesthetic Appeal

Even though drivers generally choose the BMW M3 and M4 for performance, it doesn’t hurt that they are also some of the most attractive vehicles on the road. Upgrading to a custom Mseries BMW grille can make them even more eye-catching. In particular, it can give them more of an edge than standard BMW M3s and M4s.

Brand Recognition

BMW M3s and M4s already enjoy a distinctive presence on the road. Enhancing their front end with a BMW custom grille can amplify this recognition. In fact, it can make them even more prestigious in the eyes of enthusiasts.

Audi is renowned for its sleek and sophisticated vehicles, and one key element that contributes to its unmistakable identity is the iconic Singleframe grille. With a design that seamlessly combines function and aesthetics, the car grilles on Audi performance cars are not only eye-catching but also serve a crucial purpose.

What Is Audi's Trademark Grille?

The Audi Singleframe grille, aptly named for its appearance as a single large frame, has become a trademark design feature for Audi. This distinctive grille design instantly sets Audi cars apart from the crowd, giving them a strong and commanding presence on the road. Whether it's the elegant lines of the A4 or the muscular stance of the R8, the Singleframe grille is a defining characteristic that captures attention.

What Is It Made From?

When it comes to performance cars, Audi pays careful attention to the materials used in the construction of their grilles. High-grade ABS plastic and lightweight aluminium are commonly employed due to their excellent durability and strength-to-weight ratio. These materials not only withstand the rigours of everyday driving but also contribute to improved performance by reducing overall weight and enhancing aerodynamics.

What Does It look like?

Performance models within the Audi lineup, such as the revered RS line, take the Singleframe grille to the next level. With a sporty honeycomb structure within the grille, these cars exude an aggressive and performance-oriented look. The honeycomb grill pattern not only adds a touch of visual flair but also serves a functional purpose by providing increased airflow to the engine and cooling components, crucial for optimal performance under demanding driving conditions.

While the overall design of the Singleframe grille remains consistent across Audi models, the exact dimensions can vary from one model to another. This ensures that even with a honeycomb grille, Audi models retain their unique character while still embodying the brand's design philosophy. From the compact and nimble Audi TT to the powerful and luxurious Audi RS7, the grilles are carefully tailored to complement the car's overall appearance and performance capabilities.
