Found some mesh which I was bought for xmas but never actually given!

After :



You can't really see the mesh that well in the photo but it's really changed the look of the car at the front - evil !

Hi Greeno,

I bought the spoiler from a guy on here who produces his own stuff. His name's Derek and his email address is something...@currantbun.com (sorry, not much help I know!). He goes by the name of fundimental on Scoobynet so you should be able to track him down quite easily. It cost me £85 and it's nice quality/a good fit.

Bob,

The mesh is just some black plastic criss-cross type stuff from Halfords. I only intended on doing the lower part but had some left over so thought I'd do the grill as well just to see what it looked like. I basically just guessed the size then trimmed it to fit, it's two seperate halves but you can only tell from close up. I left the honeycomb on for now, you can't really see it though. Tell you what, I'll go and take a couple of close ups so you can see a bit better.

The top one is held on using some fine fuse wire for now until I decide whether to leave it on or not. The bottom mesh is secured using a strip of plastic at the basem and a cable tie in each corner at the top.

Good luck .

Not sure if the plastic mesh comes in silver Andy. You could always spray it? I think you can get metal (wire) mesh which is silver though.

Vinesh - I managed to do it without taking the bumper off.

I normally don't like green, but your car looks really really nice mate. Splitter looks like it should be there and the mesh is not only practical, but make the car look a little evil.

Off to Halfords tomorrow to get some for my RB5 Should look nice on this :-



Cheers Phill

PS Oh and I think I need to treat myself to Morettes as well, are they better than stardard lights ?

Phil, the car came with the morettes so can't compare to standard. They are blinkin bright though and I like the look they give the car. Here's a photo I took a while back after someone on here (alcazar) helped me fix them (a fuse had blown but I just couldn't find it!):



+ Thanks for the positive comments guys ,I had been toying with changing cars recently but think I'll stick with this for another year at least.
