Quite straightforward - Got the mesh pre-cut from Rob O'Neill of MRO Styling, although I needed to trim it a bit to fit as my lip spoiler encroaches into the radiator aperture.
Using Hammerite smooth, painted it black. Found a Prodrive logo on the web, and adjusted it to the size I wanted, then printed and cut out to make a stencil. Painted the logo on with Hammerite smooth again, and attached with cable ties.
Very simple, very cheap, and very effective - you could put on just about any logo you want, I was also considering HKS, Subaru etc. When you consider a ready made mesh guard can cost £100 (!) its well worthwhile doing it yourself.
I'm thinking of making an intercooler guard along the same lines, keep you posted......
