New Year, New Mods?

Lots of car specific cuts. Will have a hunt around. Knowing my luck, the stuff I like will only be available in the US :headbonk:

I’ve got some chicken wire left over from down the field

you just want a sheet of it, and cut it to size.

Yep that's just normal printed mesh...

That stuff might be what everyone uses and might be great (I really wouldn't know), and maybe its just me but I tend to avoid the tat bazaar for car parts. Just feels wrong...
Would sooner pay 10x the price (plus VAT) from JWR ;)

Talk to me about the custom grilles! This is something I am interested in...

Stock grilles with the honeycomb cut out? Which mesh - got a link? Spacecityspy badges?

Badges (Coyote) from https://www.mfautodesigns.com, stock (US GT) upper and lower grilles from Guy (Nemesis) and mesh from Amazon.co.uk (although ignore what's going on with the price of this item, currently showing at £255.00 :eyebulge: and going up every day... but when I bought it was only £18.32 - one of those weird Amazon things).

Intention is to cut the honeycomb from the grill surrounds (from round the sides rather than just removing the honeycomb 'insert') and affix mesh as Manders has mentioned.

I do agree with [MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION] regarding the grille material not being tat, and while the (diamond) stuff I've got looks really good in the flesh, I'm still on the lookout for exactly the type of stuff you've shown in your pic (hexagonal) as a preference.

Sounds good...I'll let you know if I stumble across anything decent I've seen one other really cool design - almost like a brickwork pattern but pill shapes rather than rectangles - if that makes sense!

EDIT: I believe the second one down in this link is the stuff used in that pic I posted earlier; https://www.customcargrills.com/Plastic-Grill-Mesh.asp

Likewise... if/when I find something the same or close to what you've pictured, I'll let you know !

Edit... I did get advised to check out air-conditioning machinery manufacturers and the like... and there is a tenuous connection there, so might give that a go!

second one down, rotate it, sorted, just may need a wider mesh. But, yeah as long as you find something you like, it's an easy mod to do. I've toyed with doing it on mine, but i just can't be arsed lol :lol:

 

[Kristian87]

This is the other stuff that caught my eye...seems to be a custom cut piece for the RTR grille but I'm sure there will be a large sheet of it out there somewhere.

I think this on the standard Ford GT grille would look sweet;

True lol.:lol:

It's more effort that i can't be arsed with, it's not quite an "indoors" kind of job, and too cold at the minute.
