Best radiator grille... ever!

[anonymous-user]

Was daydreaming my way through the subtleties of BMW's many kidney grille arrangements this morning and thought, hmm, what's the best radiator grille ever. obv many have nowt to do with a radiator now, witness the new unimogs or a Merc CLK GTR. From there it's (as with any topic) a short hop to thinking of D type jags, so let's have your favourite grille and your fave radiator aperture:

Grille: very mainstream, but i love an E46 facelift grille. Particularly if it is connected to an Alpina B3S Touring



Aperture/ Hole: D type jag- Malcolm Sayer, I should have tried harder at maths

Do love the grille on the Facel Vega HK500.

Ok, not strictly a 'radiator' grill but I still think this wins.

Don't know if it's the best, but it's certainly one of the most talked about in car design:

I like Mercedes grills from the 60's.



1970 Camaro is rather nice too;



Oh, there's always grills with staircases on them

1970 Charger is pretty cool.

If the lack of actual grille is a problem..

The problem is that that always reminds me of Jezza driving the Atom 300.
