Default Grille Set


This Grille Set was made by first making an oval shape out of stainless bar that follows the contour of the "mouth". Stainless bars are then bent "bow" shape and welded onto the oval. This is then mounted as close as possible to the radiator. The gap between the radiator and the Cobra's "mouth" is then finished by inserting a highly polished stainless trimming all round. On the car in the picture this exercise was repeated in the bottom opening as well as in the bonnet scoop. O.K it is not as easily done as explained, but you get an idea. Maybe not for the purist, but the result is stunning. There are more examples on my gallery and Album.
