   Hey guys,
   
   Just about to complete my home made dimma grille and im not sure what mesh to go with. My saxo is zest yellow and the grille will be gloss black so im thinking black mesh.
   
   Just not sure what stuff to get. im guessing the plastic stuff from halfords is cheapest but will it look right as a lot of people say different? or do i go with the black aluminium stuff which is more expensive?
   
   cheers for any help

   like pred said get the cheapest stuff and spray it if needs be, just remeber a good few coats of lacquer to protect it well
