No worries, I got some really nice stainless mesh from work so that was a bonus,do. You know if there's an "how to" on modding the grill with the mesh? Hint hint 😀😉
Your car looks proper nice,I'm thinking of taking some before and after pics of mine soon,want to get some interior/exterior trim etc and get it looking as good as it can be...made harder by the guy who reversed into me mind you! Hopefully most my scratches will t cut out and failing that,will get a touch up pen...goon going to clean my headlights too!

Simply cut the fins off, you can cut one end then snap off, cut your mesh to suit, fold the ends into the back of the grill, I used No Nails to stick it on.

sounds easy enough! failed with my mesh though, its a decent grade of steel and all that, nice pattern too, but i've noticed on yours and others who have done similar that the gaps between each mesh (?) are way bigger than mine, so i;m concerned that the stuff iv got wouldnt let enough air through. theye about 2 mm apart and its quite flimsy. was going to double up on it to make stronger, but then im decreasing the air flow even more. think il just buy some as recommended!

just found some diamond shape mesh in work - its ally but i can clear or colour anodise it so should look good and not corrode either!

You could probably race a CDT across a desert and not overheat it

And if you want to fettle your other grill, a bit of chrome strip works well

iv never had issues with over heating myself, but it just worries me a little as the gaps are so small! it looks quite cool though, its in a zig zag pattern
