    Right, you'll need to take 3 bolts off across the top of the grille, take out the indicators with a flat headed screwdriver (pushdown and prise outwards), take off the white clip under where the indicator was (on both sides), slide grille out, now you can see that the slats are screwed and clipped in if remember correctly. Undo them, and the black bit will pop off.
    
    Then cut mesh to size (allow enough material to stick down), I used body filler to stick the mesh to the grill. Has stuck there for year now too!
    
    Fit grille back onto the car, with white clips under the indicators, fit indicators, close bonnet...go indoors grab a beer jobs a goodun
