Off-road, even off-road, a strict and masculine look will benefit, and the grille should match.
But the purpose of the product is not only to transform the appearance of the car. Improving cooling of the radiator and engine, improving the quality of aerodynamic characteristics, additional protection of the engine compartment - this is the mission of the foreground detail.
Characteristics of raw materials
The SUV exterior element is made from four types of material. Product value increase classification:
1. Fiberglass detail. Factory equipped.
2. Stainless steel. Optimal in terms of cost/quality ratio.
3. Carbon construction. Stylish, presentable look. Don't be ashamed to show up in the city.
4. aluminum product. Material of expensive brands of SUVs and other foreign cars.
Tuning methods

Off-road combat raids leave scars on the vehicle's hull. The car owner in the role of a surgeon transforms a damaged mechanism.
The owner dreams of giving strength and severity to a modest agricultural machine.
The constant desire to "show off" on busy highways is difficult to realize without changing the characteristics of the car.
It is not necessary to spend money on aluminum structures. You can order inexpensive tuning in the workshop. It's like going to a makeup artist for makeup.
Or you can use your own hands, imagination and some free time and turn a standard product into a masterpiece of automotive design.
Do not forget to remove the rook before starting tuning manipulations, the identification mark also costs money.
Color Therapy
You can freshen up the Niva's plastic radiator grille by coating it with fresh paint and varnish.
Spend one evening matting, degreasing, drying the surface. With sandpaper, bring the chrome layer to a similarity with aluminum. Wash the grate in soapy water, degrease the chrome surfaces with a cleaner. Leave to dry in a ventilated area.
On the second evening, prime, paint and varnish. Velcro is used as a primer for plastic. Good lighting will help to apply the primer evenly. The number of layers is at least two.
Time between applications - 5 minutes for the primer to dry and adhere. Use paint to colorin a bottle. Apply in three layers with an interval of 15 minutes to dry. Coat with varnish and leave to dry for 24 hours, after which the updated part is mounted in place.
Planting a new mesh on the old frame
Labor-intensive, but inexpensive set of installation works. Pre-prepare a set of consumables and tools:
- hacksaw;
- file;
- coarse grit sandpaper;
- screwdriver set;
- to choose from - plastic clamps or steel self-tapping screws;
- construction putty;
- paint, varnish.
Reconstruction of the radiator grille is carried out in eight steps. The first stage is to figure out how to remove the Niva radiator grille. It is necessary to unfasten the latches: three bolts from the top under the hood and two screws from the bottom; disconnect hoses and cables; remove the grille without damaging the frame - the future basis of tuning.
1. Cut off the old mesh with a hacksaw and throw it away as unnecessary trash.
2. Putty holes and recesses in the frame.
3. Rub the surface irregularities with sandpaper.
4. Lay the old frame on a new grid, circle the borders and cut out the necessary element.
5. Put the mesh on the frame with metal screws.
6. Paint the finished structure.
7. Install the grate in place.
Fruits of integration
Chevrolet Niva grille prevents damagefragile radiator; improves the aerodynamic performance of vehicles, increasing the grip of the car with the road and reducing fuel consumption; leaves an aesthetically pleasing impression on road users.
The Chevrolet Niva's front grille is designed as follows: an overlay with an ornament in the form of a car brand emblem, a mesh under the overlay. Attaches to the car body with latches.
The easiest operation is to replace an emblem that has lost its presentable appearance. You need a thin line. Bring the thread under the symbol of the machine, stretch it from top to bottom - the element is separated, you can attach a new shining little thing for a long time.
Russia is characterized by long cold winters. To ensure a quick warm-up of the engine, it is necessary to insulate the radiator. You can install foil insulation on the inside of the grill, you can on the outside. The main thing is to fix the protection so that it does not stick to the radiator and does not fly off during the trip. Such heaters are easy to remove in case of engine overheating or when the outside air temperature rises.
Chevrolet Niva grille tuning is not a luxury, but a method of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of a car and a way to save fuel.
