   took my grille off 2day for the first time and noticed the black insert piece is simple to get off, just 3 screws and a few clips. thinking of meshing it. whats the best way to fix the mesh in place and is it a simple job?

   Piece of cake to do.
   
   Theres various ways to do it, some form of decent adhesive, Tigerseal or something should do it or some strong glue.
   
   Just make sure its stuck in place securely enough whilst allowing it to dry fully
   
   There was a few parts on mine that had thickish plastic which i coule get some small screws in to hold it tight aswel, but thats overkill
