GRILLES

A car grille is what you'll find between the headlights of your car. It's a piece of trim, often designed in a mesh pattern, that sits in front of the engine bay. There can often be "lower grilles” at the bottom of the front of the vehicle - either as one piece of mesh or broken up into different sections.

A grille is unique to each vehicle and will likely be designed in line with the specific shape of the front of the car. This means when you're buying a grille, it's essential for you to check if it will fit your vehicle.

The primary function of a grille is to allow airflow to your vehicle's engine to keep cool. As you drive, air is pulled through the grille which serves to provide ventilation through the engine bay. The grille design can have a considerable impact on its ability to cool the engine.

So, while a grille is a great way to improve the appearance of your vehicle, if you're shopping for car grilles it's important that you consider function over visuals.
