hey everyone,
I've done a search and can't find any specifics on how people attach mesh to the fron grill. I was just thinking of using mini cable ties but that just sounds like a pretty dodgy way of doing it. How has everyone else done it?
Thanks in advance

You can do it to a Th Grille easy, just sandwhich the mesh between the grille and this backing plate sort of thing. ub3r easy

All you have to do mate is take your grille off and then pull the grille apart into two pieces.
Get some mesh whatever colour you wish then just match it up with front section of the grill and cut it with some wire cutters etc.
Then wedge the cut out piece of mesh into the grille and screw back together then fit it back to the car and walla!!
i hope this help i cant really explain it any other way.
Davo!

Have to agree go with a verda grille much nicer

I think theres a nice chrome Verada grille in the for sale section right about now :D
I did this to my GSR and it looked alright. I used liquid nails for the bits in the front bar and cable ties for the grill. I actually removed the grill and made a peice of mesh to fit in there instead
