You could get them from Citroen, just a guess though. Thats where i would go to get some Citroen badges.

i butchered my grill, i.e cut out chevrons and plastic slats, meshed it, then re-fixed the chevrons. looks great, quite easy to do. only thing, the plastic surround tends to fade if not painted after a while!!!

We are talking about a mk1 btw guys. No, i don't know where to get the stick on chevrons that would fit onto a mk1 meshed grille, although it wouldn't suprise me if there was something floating around on ebay.

Yo peach, just sand, prime, spray and lacquer the original ones

When should the mesh arrive??

when i meshed my grill i put my chevrons from the orginal grill on to see what it looked like.
imo they looked a little large and out of place, so they came straight back off.

its your call though. perhaps you could get some different ones on egay.

good luck

Citroen ax and bx came with slightly smaller stick on chevrons which would fit nicely!
