   Can anyone suggest where I can get some mesh for my Saxo VTR. Top and bottom part is getting done. I'm in Chester if that helps. I've looked in a few shops, but havent found any basic stuff I can cut myself and not nessecarily pre-cut. Help as always.... appreciated.

   Hmmm - Halfords is a good start although you can get some pretty funky stuff from B & Q at the mo - just make sure you check the size of sheet you`re buying. Or online?

   Have you tried-dare i say it- Halfords? or try Demon Tweeks, they're bound to have some mesh.

   most of my local modding stores hold sheets of mesh - drive about & have a look in a few mate. normally do a selection of colours/styles as well

   I've been to most of the hardware stores round Chester and found zip. I aint tried B&Q though, I'll go down in the morning. Local modding shops round here is charging around £60 for universal pre-cut piece for the top grill and the lower grill. I'd say that thats flamin ridiculous for a bit of mesh. For less than half that you must be able to buy pieces not pre-cut? Dunno why but I'd rather cut my own mesh down to size.
   
   Thanks

    A quick update for you all. B&Q sold me a piece for £25 and that sorted the bottom grill out. Only had it on a day and had a front ender the next day . So grill was sorted, now need bonnet , bumper and upper grill . I've enough to mesh a new grill again believe it not. So far I've not raised any attention yet. Anyone please........
