ABSTRACT:
A winter front for the front grill of a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of separate panel elements each formed from a thin substantially rigid sheet of acrylic. Each panel can be separately clipped onto the front grill by a spring clip adhesively attached to the rear face of the panel element. In many arrangements the grill has recesses at openings therethrough with structural members across the recesses at a position recessed from the front face of the grill. The elements are separately inserted into respective ones of the recesses with the clips attaching to the structural elements across the grill. A shallow cut out at one edge of the acrylic sheet allows a key to be inserted behind the element to pull the element out of the recess in the grill for removal. The elements in combination cover effectively the whole of the openings in the grill to prevent air flow through the grill. One or more of the elements can be separately removed. The winter front provides an effective barrier to air flow which is highly attractive and enhances the appearance of the vehicle.
