[Mk2] [Turbo] Front Bumper Grill Fitting

[Nic]

I've bought some stainless steel woven mesh to make a grill for the front bumper, just wondering how others have attached the mesh to the rear of the bumper? Any ideas welcome.

unclip the black vertical trim bits and fix the mesh with cable ties to the vertical bars the trims were clipped to...then replace

+1. Also a bit of garden wire (twisted to fix in place) works.

Wire works quite well. I used the copper earth out of some 1.5mm twin & earth electrical cable.

Thanks guys, going to be fitting it this week if this rain ever stops!

Post your results.
Im doing mine sometime in the next few weeks and it would be good to see how someone else had done theirs.
I was planning on using some thick double sided tape and a bead of silicone (or similar) to do mine.

I bought Lockwood stainless steal woven mesh, very good quality and reasonable price. I've cut to size using tin snips, going to spray with etch primer and then paint black. Should be easy to wire/cable tie the mesh to the uprights on the bumper as described above. I'm swapping the bumper over anyway so doing this with it off the car.

Great simple mod to do. Saves stones knackering the rad also. When I got my first MR2 I was in the 'dc and foolishly paid for their kit, which at the end of the day was just a £5 mesh and some small tiewraps. Little trick with tiewraps is to pinch them and bend the free end round like in a "hook" shape (teeth work great for small ones though my mother would have kittens), then it tends to find itself round what you're securing it to, you can usually fish the free end out from the front then -not needing a third hand to feed the loose end through from the back
