Aye, you need to get a Phase 2 numberplate surround and have that put in the bumper. Mine was done with an aftermarket plate surround that protrudes from the bumper, I'm not too keen on it but it cost enough to make me keep it! Hopefully when the rear splitter is on it won't look so bad.NaylorGTI said:
I really like the smoothed boot as it looks like something that could have been done by nissan quite easily.
Not fond of the graphics...Or the sunstrip... the back looks good though. Black mesh would look better too...

I reckon that's the point to me, it's only mesh, it's only function is to stop birds and such from ploughing into the engine bay (on a grille), why highlight it?
can understand people liking it though! and certain cheap versions look a bit like chicken wire, quite liked NeilSR's old one but i wouldnt use any personally.

Looks like an Edwardian fireguard.

Like K33 ELV say's, thats exactly the point... Personally, I wouldn't buy any colour or mesh, whats wrong with the plastic stuff that's already there?

you can hardly compare silver mesh to an intercooler, by that definition i take it you dont like andrew smiths fibreglass install because it's not made of metal? (its about as contrived an example), an intercooler is impressive because you know what it means the car has, all silver mesh means is someone wanted it to stand out.
I can see what you're saying about plastic = substandard and it does mean that in most products but certain points on a car can benefit from being plastic, like fibreglass bonnets or plastic mesh for its light/non corrosive/cheap to form properties. I hadnt thought of people buying mesh as they thought plastic was cheap though, its an interesting point from my point of view (studying to be a product designer) as we often have to analyse stuff like that.

Black mesh every time.... when I had my silver mesh grille on I hated the ' LOOK AT MY IMITATION CHICKEN WIRE!' appearence, now it's black it looks subtle, which is how I think mesh should be.

i've got a black phase 2 and am lovin black wheels but they have to be deep dish (like the pizza) with silver lip, the stealth look is just my kinda style
still stickin to my guns on the silver mesh though aslong as its the fine stuff and not the big chicken wire, it does look sporty imo, i've got some lyin about but not got round to fittin it, i might spray it a graphite colour?
