Mesh front bottom

[httttt]

For you guys that have meshed the front bottom, how the hell did you do it?

I cant for the life of my find anywhere to cable tie it flush to the front.

Thanks,

I took the entire centre grill section out, cut the mesh to a perfect size, and then drilled small holes for cable ties to go through. When it sits in it's place, you barely even notice the ties.

An example photo. Excuse the dirty car. I can't help it right now:

Cheers for that DJ! I am going to do it the same way.

I am using the mesh I got from the thai grill and replacing the grill mesh with one that is finer.

Done

This was a quick and easy mod.

A tip for others: Focus on the bottom of the grill and the placement of cable ties and where you cut the mesh because the top wont be seen.

Hi there...

stedyedy...think you are talking about the top grill.

ApBPaul...here's how I did mine.

1) Crawl underneath the car and unscrew the two plastic panels under the engine.

There's approx 5-6 screws in each and about 3-4 plastic clips which push in (use

a screwdriver to pry them out).

2) Once the guards are away, reach in and unclip the 6-8 clips holding the lower part

of the lower grill in place. They should pull straight back, but you may need a flat

bladed screwdriver for a couple of them.

3) Whilst holding the bottom section out, work out the clips on top of the lower grill.

Again you may need a flat bladed screwdriver to help you here.

4) Once all clips undone, simply lower and turn the grill to manoeuvre it out the

bottom under the front spoiler.

For meshing, I simply took my time and measured and trimmed by placing the mesh on top and working away at it. You can cable tie the mesh to the lower grill without drilling any holes and it will end up looking really neat. Any rough edges and cable ties will generally be hidden around the edge of the lower grill which gets tucked up behind the spoiler when in place.

Hope this all makes sense.

Here's what mine looked like.

Happy meshing...show us how it turns out.

Cheers Michael

Hey, nah i am talking about the bottom grill i took a short cut tho

you reach down past the top grill to the bottom grill and you can slip it out, much eaiser than taking the whole bottom bit off

Cheers
