it wont be the same quality or fitment as a zunsport, they fit excellent and the bottom grill the op wants has special fixings to avoid any drilling.

i have the full length version on mine and if you look at the edging on it this is shaped to the hole in the bumper, i doubt you could do that with cheap mesh from ebay

Zunsport are definitely the best mesh grilles on the market.

Was cut to size using a cardboard template but leaving 3 of the individual strands longer, one in the centre and one at each end, then bent them straight, Then i put 3 small pilot holes in the bottom of the inner bumper and slotted it in, Held it at the top with a couple of fixings behind the numberplate out of sight, Then finished it off with a rubber self adhesive strip which is normally used to fit the OEM front splitter but i used the grey for that(in pic on the corner bits) so had the black spare, Looked good and was secure, It was still there after i hit a tree at 50-60mph, Albeit a little bent
