The size of the air openings in grilles is mostly cosmetic. Big bars and grilles became popular after the Second World War, but nowadays, manufacturers are opting for small to slightly bigger openings. Manufacturers know that these openings are important for engine bay airflow, so they always ensure that the design of the grilles allows air to enter but prohibits entry of damaging debris.
Grilles made of aluminum are very resistant to corrosion, so they are expected to last for years. However, deformations may not be preventable, especially those caused by impacts, and these deformations may shorten the life span of the component. Grilles made of pure steel, which are called billet grilles, are durable enough and can resist damage from hard debris, but these grilles are somehow vulnerable to corrosion. Plastic-shell grilles are a good option because they possess the strength of steel and the corrosion-resistance of aluminum.
The type of design a grille has is actually not a big issue. A billet grille, the sheet-metal type with long slits with edges that are facing downwards, can actually provide more incoming air to the engine bay for cooling the engine and other nearby parts. A mesh or cheesegrater grille, on the other hand, can also provide enough air to the engine bay. The choice should focus on the ability of the grille to last. Billet grilles are durable because they are made of purified metal that are rolled and cut into different shapes and sizes; other grilles, however, are made of aluminum or plastic shell. The downside of using billet grilles is that they corrode over time once the protective covering flakes off. Aluminum and plastic-shell grilles can last longer because they are resistant to corrosion.
