FMIC - refitting mesh

blackie · Feb 22, 2007

I have done a search!!

When i got to forge next week to get my intercooler fitted, i know i wont be able to refit the standard mesh. Some people have used the halfords black plastic mesh instead and it gives a really good look like this (sorry to whoevers pic this is, but great pic :drool:

)

How exactly do you secure the mesh to the rear of the bumper?? Am hoping to do this whilst the bumper is off and forge are doing thier stuff.

Is it just glued / screwed or something a little more technical??

Cheers :coolthumb

Wahey thats mine.

I jammed mine over the two pegs that stick off the back of the bumper. The fmic pretty much holds it in place anyway. Been on for miles now.

we use something called Dum Dum from Partco , kinda like a epoxy filler .
its really good stuff

Cheers

Oh and cheers Phil, your cars spot on :drool:

Same here, looks 200% better with mesh fitted!
Same halfords black mesh you mention. Useful for something at least!

that looks real good daz....how much was the mesh as im having my fmic done at forge next thursday.

Daz_gibbo · Feb 23, 2007

£20 I think? Easy to fit too. Held on through the bottom of the bumper like Phil the bumper/FMIC then holds it in place.

got my mesh from same place, but mines black metal, not plastic, fitted same way tho and looks same

Arwel · Feb 23, 2007

Think im going to do this.. I like having the cooler on show but I think its a bit bare and looks like somethings missing. [B)]

Prebs · Feb 23, 2007

Would it be possible to fit the mesh with the bumper on, or will I need to take it off???

so has anyone recently bought the mesh from halfords, as im thinking this is the way to go! and what did you fix it with (i know forge said about that but wondered if theres anything else too)?

Mat · Apr 6, 2009

look on ebay! i looked in halfrauds and was like £30! was some Race-X stuff (same as sold at halfords and motor factors) at GTi Spring Fest for £5! Only had silver, or that solid type that looks like it's been hole punched. No "normal" black mesh
