Construction & Design

The grille is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, chosen for its strength and resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring it maintains its appearance and structural integrity over time. The black finish is applied using a durable coating process that withstands harsh weather conditions and road debris. The mesh pattern is precisely engineered to balance airflow with protection, allowing ample ventilation to the engine while shielding vital components from damage. This combination of materials and design results in a grille that is both functional and visually appealing.
