The grill of a car is a large part of the styling and design of the whole vehicle. It works with the headlights to give the front of the car a ‘face’. Designers put a lot of effort into making sure the grill works with the car. Sports cars and performance-oriented SUVs will typically have more angular grills, whilst a little hatchback designed to be a city runabout will tend to have a smaller and more curved grill. But how are grills made, what materials are used, and what makes a Zunsport custom grill unique?
To save money and production time, manufacturing car grills on a large-scale are typically made using inexpensive plastic poured into moulds before being fitted. For many economy cars and mid-range vehicles, most of the OEM grill is made of plastic. Of course, many high-end cars such as the Maserati range will feature metal inserts for stylistic purposes, but with many modern cars having large amounts of non-functional grills for aesthetic purposes, the likelihood of plastic still being present is high.
What makes a Zunsport grill a cut above the standard unit that comes fitted on your car? Firstly, every grill is individually developed and weaved for your vehicle, using higher quality materials than OEM grills. With high-grade stainless steel, the grill mesh is weaved by a wire-weaving machine which produces much stronger and resilient mesh than a welded-steel equivalent. After the mesh is weaved, it is then cut to size and then welded into place. A Zunsport grill is beautiful finished in either black nylon, or stainless steel using electropolishing, protecting your car from harsh weather conditions and general wear and tear.
