I have meshed my bumper! Finally!!

[Charlie]

IceMan...i did it today after taking the bumper off yesterday. took all bloody day! so fiddley. if you havent already tried i can tell you now that you wont be able to cut the grid because thats the only thing that you can bond it to. seriously, im not sure if it was worth the time either....does look much tidier though.

what does everyone think???

lookin good mate. Its a subtle touch, but looks a lot nicer than standard. You reckon theres no hope for me cutting out the centre bits and meshing it as a wide rectangle then?? Even if I attach it to the bumper while its still off the car? Im sure it can be done cos I saw another guys car at a local cruise with it all meshed. Well, if it comes to it Ill get a bodyshop to do it for me cos Im determined to mesh that whole section!!

y dont u take out the fog light covers and mesh them as well?

 

[Charlie]

i was thinking of doin exactly that! but there are bits stickin out behind it and i couldnt be arsed to cut them off. maybe in the future though. im not sure if it would look good though...if it didnt i would be fcked!
in response to iceman, i seriously dont think it is possible, but good luck anyhow!

Has it come away on the bottom right corner??

hehehe

 

[Charlie]

no...i think that picture is either dodgy or its the light cos if you look at the other one its fine!!

 

[sleepy]

where did you get the mesh from

 

[Charlie]

r-tec. 15 quid. quite expensive i know.

 

[sleepy]

looks real good though. How much do you get for £15.00

 

[Charlie]

enough to fill the length of the meshed area and about 3 inches over. about a foot deep, so i had about 4 inches depth left.

Charlie,

How about doin a HOWTO on removing the bumper and adding the mesh...

 

[Charlie]

could do if you really want...removing the bumper is easy enough though. getting the mesh on is the hard part and getting it strong enough on the bumper.
