Performance Grilles
In the world of car customisation, enthusiasts constantly are finding new ways to improve the appearance & performance of their vehicles. A popular modification that has gained significant traction is the installation of car grille upgrades.
Adding a new grille to your car not only adds a unique look to the front end but also offer subtle benefits around the airflow, cooling, and overall performance.
We will jump into detail surrounding performance grilles, exploring their purpose, design variations, installation considerations, and the advantages they bring to passionate car modification enthusiasts.
What is a Performance Grille?
A performance grille, also known as a mesh grille or a sport grille, is an aftermarket part that replaces the stock look on your car. Our Grilles are constructed from the highest quality material using ABS plastic, most featuring a mesh pattern or a series of closely spaced bars.
An upgraded grille is designed to serve two primary purposes, first is enhancing the vehicle’s aesthetics, secondly improving airflow for better cooling and performance.
Function and Design
The functionality of a performance grille is to optimise the airflow to the engine bay & other vital components, such as the intercooler or radiator.
Featuring an open mesh design or strategicallly positioned bars, Azzurra Styling grilles allow for a greater volume of air to pass through whilst minimising restriction.
This increase in airflow supports in dissipating heat more efficiently, further preventing overheating & maintaining an optimal operating temperature resulting in slight improvements in performance.
Our aftermarket grille design comes in various styles, creating a unique look to match the vehicle’s aesthetics. We provide everything from honeycomb patterns to mesh inserts, our performance grilles are designed to be an exact OEM replacement, meaning no drilling is required. We pride ourselves on constructing the most eye-catching grille replacements.
