Meshed my grille

I decided to put some black mesh on my front grille today. Not sprayed it yet but i put it on the car to see what it looked like. I quite like it, i think it looks a bit like a civic type r/focus rs grille. Ive got the carbon ford badge from dmb to go on whihc should finish it off.

what does everyone think of it?

    Looks very nice! It does have the Honda Civic look to it and it's nice and subtle. Can't stand "in your face" mods.

    Yeah i like that too - cna't tell from the perspective of the pic posted whether that's just in addition to the standard plastic grille or a replacement fir it?

    Was it easy to fit?

    Thanks, I just got some mesh, cut it to shape and stuck it on, it was quite tricky.

    It was just an addition to the standard grille. I decided to take the mesh off in place of carbon fibre which I think will look better. Should be finished soon and il get some pics up for you ;)

    I used epoxy resin and then sprayed it black. It didnt look right though.

    I ordered a sheet of carbon fibre off of ebay, done half of it so far and its looking good.

    Not going to bother with carbon fibre on the lower section, that might be a bit much! Im spraying the lower grille panther black though.

    Im going to get the diffuser sprayed panther black, ive ordered some new bulbs and these exhaust trims
