Mesh

[whitie]

Is it possible to change the mesh that runs between the Foglights? easily that is

Has anyone bought that mesh that big H sell, or know of anywhere else?

I was chatting with Pete about this at Gaydon, apparently the plastic mesh-thingy is part of the bumper, and cant simply be removed..

[whitie]

I was thinking of cutting out the mesh and fixing some mountings for the new stuff? but my car DIY isn't the best.

How much stress does the mesh part take in the bumper keeping its shape?

yep, was about to say, pete said it was almost near impossible... however to waht lengths would go?

[whitie]

Hmmm... Does it just pop out?

Off work next week may give it a go!

Look out for the "mesh wanted" in the Buy and Sell section!!

[Fidgits]

Not according to Pete, its 'moulded' into the bumper

[Dpk]

yeah it is moulded to the bumper, you could try cutting it out, probably much easier to just stick new mesh on top of it ???

depends on the mesh though, if it is similar to the sports grill, then you will see the other one through it, and it'll look :yack:

How did they build the bumper?? Has anyone changed their bumper who could have a look at the old one?

[ColinBarber]

I think you can cut it out. You would never be able to put it back to standard though.

Sorry threw my old bumper away yesterday, its been sitting in the garden since I bough the TTE bumper.

No...No...No...i never said it was impossible.

If your careful and cut out just the mesh but leave the lip around the inside of the bumper you can change it to whatever you want,i'll show you at the next meet i attend

[whitie]

Is it possible to pull it out, or would I have to undo it from the inside?

get ye tools out and do as uncle pete says :winky:

[marcus]

This is what i was going to do, to match the front lip, like pete was saying just cut it out so you have about 3-5mm lip all the way round to fit the new Mesh to :winky: i will post some pic,s as soon as i do it , as there is a lot out there thinking of doing it

[whitie]

what do you think would be the best way of attaching the new grill?? Drill holes with screws? attaching small washers and somehow and attaching to them?

[Scorpion]

When i do mine i will be using the lip to fold the mesh round and use rivets to hold it in place.
