[acidstrato]

[Daz_gibbo]

Another to big up the halfords special plastic mesh. Plastic mesh chip? wtf?

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

I'm in a dilemma with this as well, Do i or don't i mesh. Opinions please:

Heres the car,

 

[Steve GTI]

Well the shiny ic matches the grill surrounds, but if that was mine the grill surrounds would be removed and i'd put mesh infront of the ic.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Do it!

Agree on the surrounds!

yeah I think I'll mesh with halfords stuff.

I'm also considering spraying the IC black for more of a stealth look.

Just reading another thread there just posted on new wheels and if you look through it there is a red cupra with what looks like the standard mesh still in over a forge fmic, take a look,

Just to add tho i think that the halfords mesh looks better as it matches the honeycomb grills on the top.

The Mesh looks good.
how are you guys securing the mesh to the back of the bumper.

it certainly looks like the standard mesh to me

 

[acidstrato]

it does, but i cant believe my eyes!

unless they trimmed the mesh i dont see how it would fit

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Unless the mesh has been cut down and the depth taken out of it, still think that the halfords mesh looks better because it matches tho. So proves everyone wrong who says it cannot be fitted tho.

 

[JIMYU]

i've emailed him to see how he did it..

proves nothing without knowing the details, it might not be stock mesh...or it might not actually be a forge core..... who knows

one thing i know is its tight as **** and forge tell you to bin it. take a look at other pics, the bumper practically touches the core without and the stock mesh is like an inch thick at the edges. so i cant see there being any possibility of it fitting without modifications...which defies the point
