   I think this is the right place.
   I have searched for the answer to this, but have found nothing, I want a meshed grill, but as you can see from the picture below, iv got a solid grill as standard. (ignoring the good old L plates that i don't need anymore )
   
   
   
   There is no section to take out to be able to mesh. So what are my options?
   Theres this iv seen on ebay:
   
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-SAXO-M...QQcmdZViewItem
   
   my question about that is, is it just a straight fit?
   
   OR
   
   Do i look to get a grill off ebay that does have a removable centre section so i can mesh it myself.
   My budget will cover either
   
   any helps is appreciated
   
   should i look to buy

   not worth paying the £60 theyre asking on ebay
   
   mesh costs about £15 - £20
   
   easier to do it youself.. theres a guide around

    As you have the older mk1 grill, i think the only way you can change it is by actually cutting the slats out and spraying it again. But if you get the newer mk1 grill like the one your looking at on ebay, it should be a straight fit and can be very easily meshed.
    
    Wouldn't personally buy the one off ebay though, bit pricey. Either get one of here, or go to a scrappy and find one then spray it up.

    would still prbly work out cheaper to go get a newer style grille from a scrappy. then just mesh that grille

    cheers guys,
    iv been browsing ebay and found this
    
    My cars currently no driveable as im spraying the centre console, but im expecting it to be back in tomorrow and then ill go to the 2 scrappies round here.
    
    Im really not up for paying £60+ for a grill that i then got to spend more money spraying.
