    you put the mesh on the back of the grill, and bend the end bits around so it fits snug.. then your screws should go in the mesh holes so it holds it in place

    I deslatted my grill, sprayed the grill gloss black, and the chevrons gloss white
    
    I put the 2 halfs back together, and the mesh goes behind it, between the grill and the bonnet, sits flush, and looks great
    
    
    
    
    
    (yes i know, needs lowering)
    
    Dont forget to make a hole for the bonnet catch!

    lilbenchy9192 - remember you need a hole so you can open your bonnet on the bottom one
