Looking good, I like it with the chrome trim. Think I prefer the badge on. Where did you get the mesh grill from?

Its really up to you, try the different combinations and see what looks best or look at what other people have done. Or you could just go badgeless like me 8)

PS What colour Lib are you looking to put that carbon grille on?

Mesh was copping a hammering from stones, bugs etc. Plenty of chips in the paint.
Have cleaned up and resprayed with multiple coats of epoxy gloss enamel.
Hopefully this does the trick

Im about 1/2 the way through but im wondering if i need to fill in the small cut-outs left by the horizontal and vertical sections?

Im thinking it may look ok if i just fold the mesh over the sides but im not sure. Im a bit hesitant to do the glass and fill as i dont want to ruin the grille.

What do you reckon Mark?

Just wondering where abouts marks guide can be found cause if like to do the same. Did you have many troubles with it?

Heres the link.....viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7770&p=112019&hilit=grille+dremel#p112019

Nah it wasnt as hard as I thought. Just get yourself a dremel and take your time with the glassing.

Good luck
