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
let me know which one you like best and any opinions you may have (welton

)

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 !
