Post by trem1 »

which grille do we think suits the 407 best??
i'm thinking of making my car a bit different but still more or less original

option 1: original grille

option 2: meshed

option 3: the one i prefer which is chrome strips as on later high spec models

2 looks lame
3 looks like the front of a BMW Mini

I'd leave it as-is :)

I'd of removed the grill completely and stuck either:

A) two big phatt T66 Turbo's
b) A massssiv Shinny Intercooler.....

For purely cosmetic reasons of course ! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
