Title: Modify the front grill mesh??
Post by stafford on Aug 21^st, 2006, 8:22pm

I know richard s has done a lovely front bumper mod and the pictures are on this site ..has anyone done a front grill mesh mod..i.e like in the pictures of richards bumper mod..I have bought some mesh ready to spray silver but cant for the life of me see how hes done it ..there seems no room without taking the entire Ford grill of and how will I do the bonnet releases if I do that??

Any advice gratefully recieved boys...

I thought about it too, the only way i could see to do it was to remove the slats but leave enough to keep release & make a steel frame to support the outer, it was at this point i thought it was to much work !! so have never taken it further.

It's a lot of work the way I have done mine, Without going into too much detail look HERE (http://www.itsadogslifedelivery.co.uk/rbump.htm), (Feel free to join ;)), Some larger pics may help you, (8 on).
Others have done an easier mod but this is still quite a bit of work.
