mk2 meshing grille

[toochoong]

hi there can anyone tell and explain step by step how to mesh a mk 2 bonnet grille where the citroen badge is. starting from step 1 taking it out?? cutting, meshing, opening bonnet via mesh mk2?? etc. thank you

did you want to KEEP the chevron or dont you mind taking the whole thing out and replacing with mesh?

[toochoong]

could take it out mate would help both ways, and would it be easy enuf to do

[DevilDamo]

well mate, a lot of people have had a few problems when meshing their grill and keeping the chevron intact.

what the majority of people (including me) have done is purchase a dimma grill, which will replace the existing.

you take the old one out and put the new one in. simple as that. i searched the internet for the cheapest grill and i found it at cc motorsport.

the link is HERE (http://www.ccmotorsport.co.uk/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CI20901&Category_Code=citroen_saxo_grilles) if you are interested.

when you place the order, then the product should be with you within the next couple of days.

hope this helps.

cheers mate but is there no other way of doing this maybe by myself and leaving the sign on there??

[DevilDamo]

yes mate, if you dont have one, go and get yourself the...

"Haynes MaxPower Citroen Saxo - The Definitive Guide to Modifying"

if you look at page 38, all will be clear smileys/smiley20.gif

it looks good when done properly, but i have seen a lot of saxo's attempt it and it hasnt gone so smoothly. that is why i recommended replacing the WHOLE grill.

[hopey]

hey mate any decent body shop will do it for you. mines black with chevs leftin all in £40.

[DevilDamo]

thats a very good price carl. NORMAL bodyshops would charge a lot more than that if they havent already got the paint in stock. if they had a car in with excess paint, then they could use it for the grill, but sometimes unlikely.

dimma grille looks alot nicer imo.
