I used the dremel to cut the majority of the slats... but i also used a tool that is like a mini hacksaw, but it is just a single blade that sticks out of a handle... available from most hardware stores... then filled down any sticky out bits...
I bought my mesh from halfords at the extortionate price of £20-25... but i have enough mesh to do 2-3 grills... so i think i will mesh my standard grill and sell it on...
Glad you found my guide useful 
Alex

I used a dremel, and a bit of old hacksaw blade, the mesh was in a box of bits when I bought car.
FurioAL's guide was spot on,
thanks

Ok, i just remembered that I dont have a glue gun... any other way of fixing the mesh to the grill, or should I just chop it all out and leave it open for a while?

brilliant guide i started doing this a few days ago hears the result i have not got it put on the car yet as im waiting for the glue to dry fully. to glue the mesh i tried no nails but i found that the glue gun was better as it sets much more quickley any way hers the pic

ok well I have some stuff like no more nails but ive found it before to be better when i stuck my rear spolier onto the glass, so I think ill give it a go and if it does not stick very well, ill just leave it for now and cut the slots out and leave it with a gap for now, will be ok, would it not?

the grill will have to be off the car for 3 days mate if you spraying it too coz you have to leve 24 houres between stages primer/paint/lacker ETC i have a spare grill i used while i was doing the standard 1. as for the glue i would advise you to go buy a glue gun as no nails is crap i tried it first but ended up borrowing a glue gun of a mate. hope this helps ps you could try super glue

Im not going to spary it, im leaving it black as its very dark black now anyways and im happy with it :grin
The stuff i used for the spolier is like super glue, its this spray stuff you spary on to what you want to stick, then apply the glue to it and it sticks so well!
