Low $ radiator trim.

wheelie · 09-27-2009, 11:57 AM

I had a little edge trim left over after doing the front fender. I put it on the radiator grill shell opening. After I took the picture I realized it would have looked a little cleaner had I mitered the corners.....I'll do that later. It added a little sparkle to an otherwise dark area of the machine without calling a lot of attention to the radiator.

Good job, just a splash of chrome cheap.

I didn't mention it but it helped the rattle at the grill a little too.

Chromed plastic edging? Let us know how it holds up to the heat.

I've had the trim on the grill shell for the last 4 weeks. No problem to date. I thought the top might sag from the heat, so far so good. If it goes to poop I'll let you all know.

That's good to know!
