Modding Standard Grille

Ed!

Ed!

Heya, I'm trying to mod my car on a low budget at the moment and was wondering if there's any members who have modded their standard front grille?

At the moment I've got the SRi badge in the same place the GTi badge usually is, I am liking the look of that :D

I'm thinking about cutting out the horizontal slats and fitting some mesh behind, although I'm not sure how this will look.

Any ideas or pics will be great :O

Cheers, Ed.
 
I cut mine out all the way round then stuck some mesh to it with no more nails, search my members rides bit for some pics
 
if you rake around in the pics in my link

you'll find some 'open mouth' grill pics, basically all you do is cut around the inside edge with some thing sharp like a stanley blade following the outside lines but on the inside, if you do this on a p2 grill then you dont need to fibreglass but you do have to be careful as its becomes veryfragile once all that is cut out, once you have cut some mesh to fit and secured it in with some no more nails etc then its pretty sturdy again
 
Ok thanks, but I will be doing it on a spare P1 grille that I have, not sure if this would cut so easily?
 
I modified my grille...

Going to give this one a try, i liked the two slat an the no slat grille's but if your method cost's me nowt then may as well give it a try.

What kind of mesh did you use? Is it something thats available from the likes of B&Q or is it special stuff?

Thanks,

Smaz.
 
just got mine at halfords as B&Q was more like chicken wire, they might have better stuff near you though, I ended up changing it for the black plastic stuff that halfords sell, or you could just spray paint it black as its looks better black imo
 
Nice one, i'll give it a go and let you know how i get on. Should probably get some pics up in the rides section anyway :)
