front lower mesh grill idea??
 

im looking for something to make a surround with around one of the zunsport type front lower bumper grills:wonder:

needs to pretty maluable to go round the corners and be able to be bonded on so looks decent

anyone got any ideas what i could use, and if cant get white or blue must be able to hold paint so can be colour coded:Whatever_

really struggling for what to use here so any suggestions welcome as long as there sensible

anyone lol

I'm not sure what you mean............it's a mesh grille :)

Have you seen a photo of something you like ??

Hi Shaun, yes they come in stainless steel or black but you only get them for standard bumpers like bug/blob/hawk i have the sti prodrive style bug and the lower front gap is slightly diffrent sized, so having to modify the grill to fit the gap.

so now it fits the gap nicely but i need a frame for it basically to run right round the outside so it looks like it has not been trimmed if your with me:wonder:

i did wonder lot of views no replies dont think i explained it well as was expecting to get a few ideas lol

How about a silicone or rubber black tube split with a knife so that it covers the mesh and sits against the bumper ?

Shaun

Depends on the finish you want but I've used some window/door seal like this:wonder:

perhaps a silcone tube/hose if could get one small enough as that would go round the corners ok, i have had a couple of ideas but not that, obviously i want it to look decent so my mind has went blank with this one, usually not bad lol.

thats a good find as well jon!! as the outside looks around the 3-4 mm roughly how maluable do you think this would be going round it as the corners as fairly tight, what did you use this on?

something like this would work if was bendy enough as could just slip on outside and run it round, see i was more thinking something to bond to the front like a frame but whatever gets the job done for aesthetical purposes

I've used this to shape around the inner wing opening for my TMIC pipework and cold air feed - it is quite malleable and will work around simple curves, ateotd it is designed to run the curves on door frames and boot frames:thumb:

i may just try some of this then see what it's like...cheers

That's what I was going to suggest, available in many colours, very flexible, easy to slit, it's what I used for my cut edges after painting when my FMIC was fitted.

ordered some will update when it arrives and try it, cheers

What colour did you order?
