   I am in two minds if to mesh my grille or not, what are your opinions? And shall I do the bumper as well?
   
   If I was to mesh it, it would be with black mesh. And will be smoothing out the fogs when I have the money for a re-spray.

   Mesh it i think mate,green and black would go well then maybe do other things black like t-cut rear badges or black alloys etc like to blend it in But thats only if you wantt the black and green code. Everyone to their own,your car your choices mate.

   i quite like the idea of no mesh and continue the slat to meet in the middle getting rid of the chevrons
