Default Front grill

Hi all,

Looking for some ways of making the front grill look better. I want to chrome the silver parts. Any idea on the best way of doing so?

Also, the lower trim in the bumper wants changing. What's your ideas on this?

Thanks,

Kraig.

I do like that. My only issue is that it kind of steps away from the classic crossfire grill which stands out when you look at it

Yeah, they are expensive but they really set the OEM Grill off nicely. Here's a much cheaper option.

Classic? Sure if you like the classic Sebring/200/Pacifica/Grand Voyager/Town & Country cloned grill look.
Feel more secure with the metal screens which give much more functional room for even larger air filters for the Needswings setups.

Never cared for the stick on ABS plastic look. Also wonder how well the adhesive will last in the Florida heat. Just my 2 cents.

I know what you mean but it is a look that is known. In the uk heat we will have no worries about peeling off.....swap locations of you want though!!

I like the Crossfie Grill. Enhanciing it with the Chrome overlays, the ones I've seen, look very good. I'm not a fan of the mesh grills myself. I like the billet grills though. All personal taste. It's just offered as a alternative.

hi again keza...the trim is from halfords, you buy a roll comes in different sizes and is peel and stick, take the grille off , look at the back where the silver trim fits you will see it just clips in, it was a while ago but iirc pinch clip together and off it pops...chris

Cheers chris.....might be my challenge tomorrow. What width is the strips, do you remember? I looked at this option but wasn't sure that the new chrome strips would bend to the shape the grill is

Goonerkeza, When you replaced the silver strips on the front Crossfire grille what did you use to replace them? and did you remove the old strips
.
Thanks in advance for the reply,
