usman786 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hi, Is there supposed to be anything below the front number plate in that gap like a grill or somthing? My TT has a gap and you can see the radiator and pipe clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Nope it's supposed to be open, but i know exactly where you're coming from. Looks a lot better with some mesh in there .... IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Just remembered the facelift 'bar' that goes across that gap is available to retro-fit to earlier cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bobbeh..............have fitted the cutout with black coated mesh.I brought it in the 'Ripspeed' department at Halfrauds.Cost about £20, enough to do a couple of sups,see pic below,sorry about the quality,but it was p*ssing down!

Supra_Al Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Usman,yes it's quite easy to fit and i didn't have to remove the front bumber.Mesh can be cut with a good pair of scissors to size, then i 'tacted' it in place using little blobs of JB weld adhesive, which i then coloured black when dry. Originally i tried a few different adhesives,which broke at high speeds:innocent: Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Right then, stainless woven comes in a variety of sheet sizes. 40" x 12" - 44" x 7" - 55" x 8" Would I get away with one sheet to do all three 'holes' with the above sizes cause it ain't cheap. Anyone who has meshed the front know what amount they used? Paul PS, above sizes range from about £60 to £75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
