Hey all, decided to follow "Canadian"s lead and take it upon myself to add a little class to my Verada. Nice little mod, took me only about an hour start to finish (probably less if i didn't stop to snack)... i'm very happy with the results... all i need to do now is get rid of all the bloody stone chips outta the paint and it'll look heaps better... anyways, here's some pics... and yes i know my cars filthy!!! water restrictions people!!!! oh well...

Looks good, would look even better with some lines in it, something classy that gives definition.

good work bruva, get some clear indicators tho,

lookin sweet

i would like to do this mod, but how do you get the mesh to stay in? like whats the procedure?

thanks guys.. yeah i know i need clear indicators.. working on it...

ok well how to do it...
-there's 5 clips to remove the grill (just little push tabs)
-then about 8 screws to remove the front (chrome) part of the grill and the back (plastic) part
-once removes i laid out the mesh over the black plastic part and traced a rough outline around it
-then cut out the shape (all one piece, NOT one for each side)
-then laid it on top and screwed the two grill piece back together
-once their together again i trimed off the excess and it all went back in to the car..

i do suggest cutting so that there is definate overhang, also check you work as u go, stop every so often and check it will still work other wise you're going to end up with a gap or a hole.... hope that helps.

good work and nice write up.

Wonder how this mod will look on dark colours. Might try it some other time.

Cheers!
