    The grille in my model A sedan is well, boring. I tried the search feature, with out any luck. Any ideas on an insert to wake it up some? Thanks Carlg

    Paint something on the radiator, just not a skull or anything goth! How bout an orangesicle, or a bottle of orange crush.

    Insert a painted screen in front of the radiator core. Your choice of theme.

    How about a spiderweb, with an orange caught in it? :)

    How about a bigger picture to look at?

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe the grille shell is on the front of the car.

    Nice pic however, a pic of the front of your car might decrease the chances of sarcastic responses like this one :D

    but to me it looks fine,
    maybe instead of going the painted route..get a chrome or nickle plated shell

    You already sem to have a theme with the car. If you start changing the grille it may just look like a cluster ****. I am not trying to be an ***hole but I think the grille helps to balance out the car.

    Leave it, the car looks swell, I love it, although you could spray the grille with sand and glue starfish and shells to it.

    I want to maintain the A shell, I just want to put something between the shell and radiator to breakup some of the black. Carlg
