MESHing around.

Ok.. phase two of my diabolical (very tame) aesthetics plan is to replace the already ripped out GTE grill cack wih some black mesh.

Ideally it will be quite small holes/squares whatever. I am far from clued up.

Where is the best place to find some?

Pics and opinions welcome.



P.S Two threads in the styling section.... Cris Rose tastic

Best stuff to use is from Extreme Motorsport or one of their subsiduaries ie Gasoline Alley.

I have seen some meshi in Halfords too but its not what I call brilliant.

I got my mesh from a B&Q depot, they have about 15 different styles in there.

What price is it from B&Q Lee?

Cheers guys, I'll have a look tomorrow.

Just one thing. I'm sure the mesh you buy wont be as strong as the stuff that was on the car (which has also hardened with age). It seems pretty pointless to cut holes for the little securing plastic things, how has anyone else put their mesh on?

Use silicone or no nails stuff,

Its very unlikely to fall out of there anyway unless a great big stone or something hits it. And in that case your too close to the car behind

Well Worzil can pull some G's wind resistance might test things..

i tried that no more nails stuff, but it never seamed to go hard for me ended up with f/glass & resin.

mind you i did pit it on quite thick
i think some of it may still be setting
although it may have been because i was not trying to glue a chair to the wall lmao

Use Frame Sealant mate its very strong but stays flexible, I used it on my first GTE and it never moved despite some atrocious weather conditions and high speed jinks.
