front grill makeup

so my Cali er is always slightly above half on temp when running. I would have to put ac on so fans can come on but mf ac don't work and only hot air blows out so I'm trying this most likely is useless but it so far it's looking cool. I'm not sure if I should paint it black or silver even considering gold or bronze. this is just step by step of what I did
first I wanted to keep this part so I gutted it with a hacksaw blade pretty fast too.
souvenirs!!!!

found this in the shed so don't know what it is steel mesh I'll call it looked good for the job outline it with plastic and cut with grinder my dad left.
looks nice fits good and this is definitely not the original bumper.



it's night time and my phone is about to die no flash put that plastic center see how it fits looks nice. now I'm curious to the color of the mesh I would use. gold or black or silver any thoughts.
