The whole, not beaten grille of the Niva radiator is like a snow-white smile. It leaves a pleasant impression on the observant road users.
Off-road, even off-road, a strict and courageous look will benefit, and the grille should match.
But the goal of the product is not only to transform the appearance of the car. Improving the cooling of the radiator and engine, improving the quality of aerodynamic characteristics, additional protection of the engine compartment is the mission of the foreground detail.
Characterization of raw materials
The exterior element of the SUV is made of four types of material. Classification on the basis of increasing cost of the product:
1. Fiberglass part. Factory equipment.
2. Stainless steel. Optimal in terms of value for money.
3. Carbon construction. Stylish, presentable look. Do not be ashamed to appear in the city.
4. Aluminum product. The material of expensive brands of SUVs and other foreign cars.
Tuning Methods
A variety of reasons lead to changes in the appearance of the Niva-2121 radiator grill.
Off-road combat raids leave scars on the vehicle body. The car owner as a surgeon transforms the damaged mechanism.
The owner wants to give the features of strength and severity to a modest agricultural machine.
The constant desire to "show yourself" on busy highways is difficult to realize without changing the characteristics of the machine.
It is not necessary to splurge on aluminum structures. You can order inexpensive tuning in the workshop. It’s like looking for a make-up artist.
And you can make your own hands, imagination and part of your free time and turn a standard product into a masterpiece of automotive design.
Do not forget to remove the rook before starting the tuning manipulations, the identification mark also costs money.
Coloring therapy
You can freshen the plastic grille of the Niva with a coating of fresh paint and varnish.
Spend one evening on matting, degreasing, drying the surface. Using sandpaper, adjust the chromium layer to resemble aluminum. Wash the grate in a soapy solution, degrease the chrome surfaces with a product. Leave to dry in a ventilated area.
On the second evening, primer, paint and varnish. As a primer for plastic use Velcro. Good lighting will help to apply the primer evenly. The number of layers is at least two.
The time between application is 5 minutes for the primer to dry and adhere. For painting use paint in a spray can. Apply in three layers at intervals of 15 minutes to dry. Varnish and let dry for 24 hours, after which the updated part should be mounted in place.

2. Putty in the frame holes and recesses.
3. To wipe roughnesses with an emery paper.
4. Place the old frame on a new grid, circle the borders and cut out the necessary element.
5. Plant the grid on the frame with metal screws.

The fruits of integration
The Chevrolet Niva radiator grill prevents damage to the fragile radiator; improves the aerodynamic performance of vehicles, enhancing the grip of the car with the road and reducing fuel consumption; leaves an aesthetically pleasing impression on road users.
The front grille of the Chevrolet Niva is arranged as follows: a trim with decoration in the form of an emblem of the brand of the car, under the trim is a mesh. Fastens to the car body on latches.
The easiest operation is to replace a logo that has lost its presentable appearance. Need a thin fishing line. Get a thread under the symbol of the machine, stretch from top to bottom - the element is detached, you can attach a new shiny little thing for a long time.
Russia is characterized by long cold winters. To ensure quick heating of the engine, it is necessary to insulate the radiator. You can install foil insulation on the inside of the grill, it is possible 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 temperature rises.
Tuning the Chevrolet Niva radiator grill is not a luxury, but a method of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of a car and a way to save fuel.
