HassanZ Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi all, I am looking to remove the front bumper and replace the black grille covering the hole. I'm assuming the current mesh is metal as the original black colour is beginning to turn a rusty brown colour. It is currently zip tied to the bumper. I am looking for a good quality one that will last a long time and won't corrode I've time. Can anybody please advise me on what grille mesh they have used in their NISMO N1 front bumpers? Also what is the best way of securing this grille without having to use zip ties? I appreciate all your help guys Many Thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Get some powder coated aluminium mesh and bond it to the inside of the bumper, either glass it in or mastic it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've purchased some ABS plastic mesh got on eBay there for mine. It's 105cm by 30cm, not a fan of the metal mesh look, but then again that's my personal choice. Here's hopping the honeycomb plastic stuff looks the part. And yeah some fibreglass resin or the likes to stick it from the inside around the edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've (genuinely!!) used this: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Galvanised-Metal-Mesh-Lath-2500x700mm/p/104089?CAWELAID=120135120000007050&CAGPSPN=pla&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Google+Shopping+-+Building+Materials&tmcampid=104&tmad=c&tmplaceref=&tmcustom=mkwid|pDInpiPa_dc|pcrid|43364522812|&gclid=CjwKEAjwnKCrBRCm1YuPrtWW0QMSJAC-5UYklaE891r_gfIkWseOJv9QCCNWL5MX6_B_V6CWmdQFfhoCX9vw_wcB and then I sprayed it satin black. Had it on for a few years now and you'd never know hat's what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Any mesh is good. You can coat with satin black aerosol as discussed. You can even finalise with clear lacquer to add extra protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 I appreciate all your advice guys. I could just get my current mesh sprayed Matte Black as the bodyshop has offered to do that for me but I thought I'd get a fresh one. There's nothing wrong with the current grille, it's just discoloured due to rust. I did consider a plastic one like tone one suggested above but would it hold up as well as a metal grille?
