   When i meshed my grill, i had to buy some mesh that was about 2-3 times the size i wanted. What you have left could go to meshing something else in the future

    on the back there is some melted plastic holding the slats in you can take these out but the fixing brackets which mount the grill to the car are on these so basically you will have to use adhesive to stick it back in or glue the bracket back on mate

    Do you then have to fill anything in?

    Ranjani's is a bristol based shop but they do have one in london that i seen the other day,
    
    the only thing is tho the mesh starts to tint gold after a few months in the rain, just like their gold jewlerry that goes green : ) but must admit you cant really complain cause of the price.
    
    and yeh with the left over mesh you could use if for speaker grill or even fog covers.
    
    motorman are having a sale across the u.k 45% off comp mesh (in bristol store) so might be worth having a look.

    has anygot a close up pic of the slats cut out near the screw holes? i need to know how much to leave and how much to cut off.
    and does the mesh go inbetween the two parts or on the back of the grill?
