did this today so i thought id share it with you all.

dont worry, there is mesh in there too lol

and finally, a bit of plastic texure paint to make it look OEM

the finished look

Looks quite smart tbh. Better than the usual grommet.

Nice! is there some sort of bung I can buy instead of filling/sanding/priming/painting? just spent 7 days sanding my wheels down and painting them if I see another piece of sand paper Ill shat in my pants

i think you can get a set of different sized grommets from halfords but i spent more time finding one to fit than i did doing this and i work in a body shop so we have them lying around lol

Halfords do a pack of 3 rubber bungs, 2 fit perfectly!

Looks good, although I like that you made it look oem, I'm not a fan of the 'plastic' finish.... Gloss is where its at

i did toy with the idea of painting it but didnt want to make it stand out if you know what i mean.

Yeah, tbf I was going to do mine gloss black, not red, but the body shop guy colour coded it for me lol. I do think it looks good though

there is no glass behind it, the rear screen arcs behind the trim. thats why i did it otherwise i would have just put a grommet in the hole in the glass

Good idea! Look good! Whether these products can stand wear and tear?
