to mesh it you have take off the grill, if you pop the bonnet, the grill is bolted on by three 10mm nuts. the part of the grill under the lights are held on by clips so be carfull just give um pull, and should come off easy enough! the the black part of it is held on by couple screws and clips so easy enough to remove. just remember cut the mesh bigger than the hole so you can bend it down bit around the sides so its easier to glue in place, i used tiger seal to glue my meshing in place and its well secure.

well worth rep

if you find that of help!

what he didn't mention is to remove the indicators otherwise you won't be able to get the whole grille out. push down GENTLy on the white clip and then pull towards you. I do say gently as i snapped one side of mine. Luckily it still stays in place

Now thats worth rep for sure!!!
