How do you mesh a Cav GSi grille?

**Darryn** · 11-06-2002 18:13

I've looked and thought abouth it but I cant figure how you put mesh in without effing up the plastic clips that holds the grille to the car?

Surely if I start cutting this out I wont be able to put it back on?

Any ideas?

Regards

you need to seperate them and trap the mesh in between.

**Darryn** · 11-06-2002 18:36

Separate what? The plastic mesh or the clips from the mesh?

I got one here i think might get meshed, i think what u have to do is, separate the black slats and bits from the main couloured surrounding, and then the black slat bit which you have taken out, snip em out, so u end up with a black frame,

get your mesh, and the coloured bit mould mesh around the inside, use no nails stuff, or silicone sealent, then re-atach the black bit, which has the slats cut out, so that way you end up with all the fixings too.

Duno if this is the way, because i havent tried it yet, might just spray the slats black.
