Suggestions on this 1930's Garton

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I bartered some goods for this restored Garton pedal car my wife allowed in the dining room. Suggestions for the front end/grill area needed, more pins or paint the grill? It looks like it's missing something...

Lol. Seriously though- maybe match the wheels and paint the grill white? Not much shiny stuff so silver or chrome would be out imho.

That car is super cool!
 
Doesn't look finished. Needs something on the front. Google doesn't show another with that front end.
 
@mickeyc I totally agree, I've be looking at pedal car books and can't find the front end of this one. I think it's an early 40's not 30's as I posted. Those that I find that are similar are painted either white or silver, no plating. Thanks for checking google...
 
Match the grill area only to the wheels and give it a light but small fancy pin stripe on the hood top (radiator) area. Give it that slight custom hot rod look from the 50’s
