Heres the one i made from some Foliatec Racing Mesh to start with.
The results came out ok, but as you can see after a year or so it looking pretty tatty.
So time for new one, so simple snip of the cable ties and out it came. Normally it would just be the case of removing
the 6 screws that hold the stock plastic grille in place.
Heres what state the grille got in.
And here’s my nice new Pelican Racing Stainless Vintage Grille ready to fit.
Simply push into place, the edging is has some give and soon makes for a perfect fit.
Wrap the cable ties around the platic struts and then tighten. I found removing the 3 screws under the front bumper and reaching in from behind very helpful.
This allow access to the backs of the ties and helps to loop them through and to trim them.
I made sure that the fit was perfect, before pulling all the ties tight. Then back on with the plate and there you have it.
