Meshed bumper

[gonzo]

Silver Halfords mesh....

Held on with 6 black cable ties and bent round

You realise you could have gone to B&Q and got alot more mesh for alot less dont you?

looks good though, i take it thats to stop stones going through and hitting the rad?

 

[Evil_Weasel]

Looks a very neat and tidy job! :xnworthy:

Just a pity you had to do it in the rain! :evil:

 

[gonzo]

Only cost £8 from halfrauds - friends discount! :lol:


Had to be done in rain as i wanted to have it done before i go to europe!!

Advantage of being a design teacher though, had a whole workshop to do it in!! :lol: :lol:


£10 mesh or £600 for a new rad.......a mod worth doing!! :lol:

 

[chris cc]

I see what you mean about the reg plate mounting brackets. :shock: Used black mesh on mine so they don't stand out so much.
£8 mesh!! ... do you ever pay full price? :lol: Tidy job.

Looks familiar :wink:

Job well done 8)

...And essential!!

 

[mikegsi]

just been out and got mine today, ive gone for a black plastic mesh, wont standout as much but still do the job i want it to do, just had visions of saxo's and cinquecento's with huge metal grills!!!!

 

[Duncs]

where did you get the black mesh from?

 

[mikegsi]

just halfords mate, was £20 though for a bit large enough, could prob get it cheaper but couldnt be ar$ed to look!

I must get around to doing mine. Think you said it was a similar job to the CTR one? YOu don't have to yank it about too much do you? knowing my luck I'll break it.

Dead easy mate,

I cable tied mine in place then bent the excess around

 

[Suped]

right, this is a essential mod to pro-long the rad...

anybody hav a clue how to butcher the front bumper and giving me a crash course in putting the mesh on? I'm a IT guy with little (sod all) experience in cars.

 

[truffs]

Join the club mate ive been plucking up courage for the last two months to do it, Bank Holiday monday is the Day!

 

[gonzo]

If you can wait to a meet i'll do it for you :lol:

 

[mikegsi]

yep, ive got the equipment but not had the time, i know it'll only take about an hour all in to do, just getting motivated to do it!!

Extra pair of hands can be errr handy :lol: But other than that it was surprisingly simple to do.
I too am useless as any car work and managed to do it. Just gotta find the wheel arch bolts and the rest under the bumper are easy.
