Mesh Bonnet Grille

T3DCF · Post by **T3DCF** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 5:44 pm

Bought these a couple of weeks ago now, they were probably the most expensive piece of kit for the size, but they do make a lot of difference, gets rid of those horrible black plastic ones, and (in my oppinion) look better than the colour coded ones from Ecosse!

Have any of you guys got any, or am I one of the first?

Will post some pics soon.

Also any ideas what else I can do to the car, its sort of a hobby of mine (cant afford though, and the girlfriend thinks I should spend the money on her!)
Have done so far - new alloys, lowered front and back, Mesh sp lower and upper grille, bonnet mesh vent, wheel arch extensions, Chrome hoops, chrome door pins, lexus lights and fog light, removed the all pages except the lion and the cc from the back to make it smoother. colour coding is next - any other ideas.

Hi Web code

Did you put the mesh grille on your self?, If so how did you get the 4 bolts off that hold in the old grille?

Cheers

The grille is held in by 4 Push fit studs..
But they are fragile.. So it maybe an idea to get some new ones.. Only a few pence each..

Is their a special way of getting these 4 bolts off, because just tryed it and could not do it.

Pull them as hard as possible - a pair of pliers might help!

They're jammed in hard. Once out, you may as well chuck them as the chance of getting them out in a reusable state is quite slim.

As webcode said, It's worth buying four from your local Pug dealership. They will only be a few pence each and they usually have them in stock.

Do they come upainted Si? us there doesn't look much to actually colourcode there? If they are unpainted did you DIY???
I like them a lot and so does my mother, who also owns a 206 (non-CC)
Hmm....reckon we could get a discount on a bulk order? I'm after two sets for a start....

Nope, the bit at the top is painted.
Silver on Webcode's and black in the photo in the brochure.

I likes 'em too.

They do not come painted.. Just black plastic..
Yes I painted them myself..

Unfitted you should pay around Â£66.00 each

For ur info, they are a modified version of the standard vent.. Basically they have cut the internal slats out with a sharp knife..
Then riveted the new Mesh parts into the remaining part.. the rivets are easily removable for painting.. Then use some small self tapping screws to attach the mesh again when the paint is dry..

Now I'm confused

The Grille inserts are chrome.. exactly like the upper & lower bumper mesh grille..
The rest of it is a standard bonnet vent that has been modified to allow the chrome bits to fit..

My CC is Moonstone by the way , not Silver

here is a pic of the vent unpainted:
