grill surround

[ldavies]

well after my second meshed grill surround fell off on the motorway due to the glue either melting or just come away i ve now had to purchase another standard mk2 grill just for the surround so i now have to spray another one.
the mesh stayed on as the torx screws keep it attached but is there anyway of keeping the grill surround on without using the glue.
cheers.

when you cut the slats, dont cut off all the holes for the grill, leave something for the screws to screw into

[ldavies]

thats how i did it mate.
the mesh is still on the car with the screws but the plastic grill surround dosent screw in iirc.

it should do if you've still got the screw holes on the grill surround, that's how mine is held in, and that's been fine for the last year and a half I've owned the car..

use some fibreglass always does the trick...

dont no then mate.
its not the plastic surround that you cut away its the big surround that im refering to the part that you can spray.
unless thats what youre refering too.
sorry if ive confused you lol.

that is what im referring to..

when you cut away the centre part, don't cut away the screw holes on the big surround, then there will be something for the screw to bite into..

[ldavies]

okay then mate cheers for that.
once its fully dried from been sprayed will try it and hopefully should stay on lol.
ta mate.

Use some quick setting araldite to bond them together

sounds silly but i used cable ties to attech the grill together.
works fine
