Hi, another low cost mod.....
When i bought the car it came with a front grille but the previous owner fitted it for some reason with a "blanking plate" so i decided to fit a black mesh instead together with the same black mesh for the lower (bumper) part, the bumper was an easy fit but the upper grille was a p*** ....the alternative way would heve been removing the bumper( might do that at some point).
Also tinted my rear lights and front indicators (not extremely, for security reasons)

nice.
I like it

Where can you get a mesh grille like that?

Home Depo? gutter leaf guard or something like that?4
I personally prefer the honey comb plastic mesh, thats the one im going to use, you can get it on ebay for I think less than 40$ and it makes the car look more modern and OEM

Thanks TheCreatorOf!

What do you use to keep the grille in place?
& is this what you're talking about?

BUMP! Just wondering if you guys use the 3m automotive tape to keep this in place or what would you use?

Thanks!

zip ties for cant even see them

Im going to design my own front bumper, eventually the whole front end and then the rear, baby steps lol, but im going to make some small holes around where the stainless steel/plastic/nylon bolts are going to sit, put a washer on the bolts, pull fiberglass strands from the inner side to the outer through the holes using a hook shaped paperclip and fiberglass both sides of the bumper, sand, fill, sand, filler primer, sand then paint the outer side of the bumper, and have bolts where I can use some of the holes on the mesh to fasten with a washer and nut on the back side of the bumper and then trim the mesh with a hacksaw blade or rotary tool.
