   Hi guys like the title says im about to bore you guys with yet another grill question.
   
   I have another standard mk2 grill coming my way so i can change it into something a bit better looking than the standard and i would like your guys opinions on either of the options im thinking of doing... and place your vote on the poll aswell..
   
   also bearing in mind its a artic steel (silver) coloured saxo
   Option One
   
   Right here i was going to mesh the grill leaving the chevrons in place like the way furioAL has done in his guide with black mesh and painting the chevrons black with the silver edges..
   
   or
   
   Option Two
   Just paint the edges silver leaving the slats black and painting the chevrons black...
   
   If anyone has any pictures of either of the options done on a mk2 silver saxo please add
   
   opinions appreciated thanks,
   Wez

    Mesh mate !!! and halfords paint should be ok. just make sure you give it a good lashing of lacquer or it will chip instantly
