I need some instructions on meshing out the front grille and lower bar. If anyone has a secret to doing so please post or email me at:

chadwickj66@hotmail.com

Later

lift your bonnet up...there are about 6-8 clips you have to undo to get the grille out...once you get it out...there will be about 6 screws to pull the front part off...once youve done that use the front peice to work out the size of the mesh...one point 'MAKE SURE BOTH PEICES OF MESH ARE THE SAME WAY' itll look very shit if they arnt.
Cut the mesh in 2 seperate peices...(2 holes...2 peices)sit the mesh in the front peice and there should be a lip just after the hole...bend the mesh over it abit just so it holds abit more...
then screw back together and your done!

if you need some more help...get back to me

Thanks bro'
I appreciate the 411
I'll get right on that.

Oh one more thing, how should I attach the mesh to the lower section of the front bar. (between the fog lights)

Ive seen it done b4...not real nice...

ive thinking of something i could put there for ages...best...drilled aliminium...?

i just left the black plastic crap, sprayed silver

Im not a big fan on mesh, but it can look good if done properly

I've just seen to many crappy home jobs...

I dunno what mesh i'll be using for my kit though, puzzeled there.

Yeah I was looking at using a black mesh behind my grill and bottom section of the bar. Should be playing with this over the next few weeks so I will post up some pics when im done.

I'll be playing with mesh once the bodykit is finnished (cant wait :mrgreen:)

Dunno what im going to do about the grille, so average...

when you do start 'playing' with the mesh...wear sum gloves when cutting it...
itll stop you from gettin mad scrathces all ove ya hand!

good point, duly noted. Dunno where to get the mesh from, can't be to hard to get. Not going to go to an auto shop coz some places want like 60 bucks for a piece of mesh 300mm 800mm

RIP ORF!

i got my mesh from SSV...bout $25 for 1mx 25cm (or 20)

SSV? Where's that?
I was thinking about going to reverse garbage or something and finding some mesh and then just painting it myself, but I haven't really been bothered and don't think I really can be.. Someone just told me about it, so it's been at the back of my head... Anyway.. Somewhere in Sydney, right?

there are out towards homebush sumwhere...

goto www.ssv.com.au

night...your in sydney?
hom come you no come to cruise on sat nite?

hahaha, man dslo3l you are super desperate for more members hey :D

take it easy, don't scare em all of... hahaha

i just want more members on my cruises then on yours... :)

Hey dslo3l, i would have turned up but i had to work :D but hey i will try to attend one or two in the future

hahaha, so now were in competetion eh? Nah im just kidding. Im cool with either a big or small club. We don't want like 50 members, then its just TOOO big...

but yeah we don't want 3 :mrgreen:

age ago a needed some mesh for my computer case and the only place found stuff that i liked was at supercheap auto cant remember the size but it was atleast a metre long it cost about $30.00

I mesed up my grill yesturday and I think it actually looks pretty good. Dont think I will end up spraying it black.... Just need to find a chrome section for the grill. have taken some pics and will put em up when I get em on the PC.

BTW I got my mesh from a local metal warehouse. Was about $40 for a section about 1mx1.5m. A bargain I think!

Ben i would really love to see pics... Sweet! :mrgreen:

Here ya go pics of the mesh (Even tho the pics arnt great coz most of em were dont in the dark.

The next steps are to brush down the mesh with a brush (Soft mag wheel cleaning brush) to remove any oxidation/rust that may be developing (However it is fine atm) clean/prime it with a clear brush on primer, spray it with a couple of coats of clear paint.

I am also looking for a chrome surround for the grill aswell... then headlights etc

Was a fun lil project tho... not sure it I will do anything with the bottom bit

hrmm posted up twice... strange

DSL03L: Ahaha, I'd come along to the cruises, but my Magna is totally stock since I never have any cash... I read up on crap, sometimes help friends out with their own modifications and things like that, but I don't have enough money to do stuff to my own car... I thought it'd be a bit lame just taking my stock Magna up to the cruise...

u dont have to be modded man!

just a nice show of hands is mad!
getting together to share something we all have in common!

THE MAGNA BUG!

Heh... Okay, maybe next cruise, I'll see what happens..
