   Heyy
   
   i want to change my mk2 grill cuz it looks plain
   
   do you think its better with the mesh?
   
   i was thinking of buying just a mesh one,
   
   or shall i buy the mesh and do it myself and keep the citroen logo in the middle?
   
   i want the logo in the middle butt it will come out more expensivee cuz i need to buy all the paint and the Epoxy
   
   Help Wanteddd?

   overall, if i do it myself, how much do u think i will be looking at?
   
   i might buy a grill off the internet already primed for £30? because i can then keep my old one incasee
   
   If i did, i would only need the red paint for the grill colour, and the epoxy glue.
   
   Should i change the citroen logo colour?
   If i did, would i need to prime it? and then spray it black?
   
   cheeeers

   best to tiger seal it mate the epoxy stuff is ok but the tiger seal moves with it better. just buy a cheap standard grill from ebay and have a go at it yourself real easy its what i did. first time glued with epoxy glue which didn't hold that well, the re done it with tiger seal and colour coded. only cost £7 for grill, £6 for massive amount of mesh and £6 for the rattle can.

    personally i prefer the dimma grills. Get one off ebay for £30. Just bought a full dimma bodykit off of ebay including front grill all for £205 which is a bargain and a half.
