I used stainless mesh similar to the previous poster but of the kind that looks like diamonds rather than squares. It had a matt finish which you could polish or spray black like I did. I'm not keen on the "7" logo grilles. Looks like you're trying too hard. What colour is your car? Maybe a "7" logo grille in black rather than chrome might suit.

If your worried about stones you could use the black mesh with the seven style one in front

Hi
You can always make your own.
I made ours from 2 flat aly strips 1/8" thick painted
black and stainless steel tube (which is light)
pop riveted to the strips.
You can design whatever you want.
