Its no Zunsport Grill... but it was a fraction of the cost...

[fellsteruk]

Really wanted a grill for the Z but it wasnt at the top of my list for mods and being almost £100 i decided to make my own for a fraction of the cost... Its not perfect but i am proper pleased with the end result... What you think... May upgrade to a zunsport in the future...

 

First attempt at making a Template

 

 

First rough cut with edge added

 

 

Installed

Looks good mate, any shots from further away?

And loose the number plate holder

[DoogyRev]

Looks good

 

Can you not unscrew the numberplate holder, pin the edging behind it then screw back for a neater finish

[CrustyCrab]

Fantastic, have to give it a shot. Where did to get the mesh and edging from?

[rtbiscuit]

for best fit, try cutting the fins out, then mounting the mesh up from behind, this will mean the fins arent visible anymore and there are no gapped edges. the whole thing can then be all bonded on out of sight, and no need for trim finishers then as well.

 

but what you have done looks good.

 

just becareful of the black finish on that mesh, it hips easy and once moisture gets in it rusts and the paint peels off.

What he said ^^

 

Neater finish and sits further back so you get some depth to the bumper. Needs to be ripped off of you need towing though

 

I had mine done

 

[HORNZEE]

That be a proper job

[ddcboyle]

I think it looks mega well done

[buster]

nice one...well done for having a go works for me just needs tidying

[rtbiscuit]

if you want woven stainless mesh to DIY with

you will need to bond/or weld the cut edges to stop it coming apart. but its good stuff, and if you ewant it black, try plasti dipping it or getting it powder coated. normal car paint will just chip off it.

I like the idea of that, how many holes ami likely to have in my bumper when I take it off?

Good old ebay, was £10 for the mesh, about £10 for 4 meters of the edge, got the badge on ebay also

I like the look of this do u have a how to guide for this, do they just pop out or do you have to cut them

Thanks for all the comments guys, gonna play about with it and tidy it up however I kinda like the nismo v1 bumper so tempted to get one, then put the mesh on the inside of the bumper.

[LRF4N]

The bodyshop done mine mate. They cut out the plastic slats then attached the mesh. No pics though sorry

[JetSet]

Good job!!

 

And loose the number plate holder

 

Or at least put the plate on square to the holder. Those screws holding the plate on are not the correct ones and are in the wrong position too .
