Guest Supra_Mark Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Guys Did the supra come with mesh as standard or is mine just missing? It's a 94 NA Manual but I really cant see the hole 'not being covered' standard, it just looks too wierd?!? Where can I get mesh big enough to fill the gap? M.

Guest Supra_Mark Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Weird, OK thanks. Do you know where I can get some? M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Some people have gone to Halfords... but other than that I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 miami gt have some as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASHTHEBISHOP Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have been looking at this recently and have had 2 bodyshop places recommend the same mesh... the one off the modeo ST. Have a look at mesh on different cars and get the one you want. Is this a bumper off job though anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Is this a bumper off job though anyone? It depends if you want to do it properly or not. I bought the same stuff that's on the Mondeo ST, great stuff but it helps to know someone that can trim it for you using a guillotine. http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront/EN/Product/38801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I bought one off grille-tech in the USA. Google them to find out their web address. I've mounted my grille within the front bumper recess, instead of right at the front (which IMO looks rubbish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Its not necessarily a bumper out job, i fitted mine through the gap and it looks fine - Got it from halfrauds for around £20 and was more than enough to fill the gap.

turbonut Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Demon tweeks do a range of different gauge mesh. I was gonna spray it black but by the time it gets plastered with flies it wont make much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 go with stainless if you can, its harder to work with/cut/bend, but looks much better in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra_Mark Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Also, the cheapest I can find clear replacements for the front is around £130 for both front and side indicators. Surely there are cheaper alternatives than the original Toyota items? Any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there are cheaper alternatives than the original Toyota items? Any ideas guys? £130 is too much. Speak to nic our import pimp for a better price. Also just noticed you're from Leics, where abouts? We tend to have a few mini meets around here you should join us for the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi mark I'm looking for similar but if you check out ebay there's loads on there for around 85 -90 quid L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to have a few mini meets around here you should join us for the next one OK thanks, I'll have a word with him. I'm from a small village called Asfordby near Melton Mowbray. A meet would be good to see other Supra's. I only ended up with this one because we traded the Mrs MR2 Tubbie in for it on a Part X deal; the cash was enough to complete the deal. But I must admit, I really do like the car after a year of ownership and its so reliable! (Touch wood!) It'll have to be after the baby has settled in, she's only 5 days old bless her but we'll come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supe Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have been thinking of mesh for my bumper, imo the Halfords mesh looks a bit chav, think I need black mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have been thinking of mesh for my bumper, imo the Halfords mesh looks a bit chav, think I need black mesh Halfords sell black mesh, if not loads of it on ebay, I just finished a bumper in it (not supra) and looks really nice. As for how to fit it, best way I found is bend the mesh over the intake/vent and use silicone bonding to glue the mesh to the bumper, simple and easy to do.

swandip Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I got mine fitted with Stainless steel which I bought somewhere in the midlands, and had delivered. I have a peice left which is enough for the front intake if required. The stuff from Halfords is a bit naff as it bends to easily and will tear when hit by stones.

swandip Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I will try to find out for you as I may have an invoice somewhere around. I found them by luck through google but not all that easy to find the stuff you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I bought some black mesh from halfords, Ripspeed stuff cut it to shape and then used the black trim strips top and bottom to hold it in. I don't have it fitted anymore I noticed the black had started chipping off all over. Ended up fitting a facelift grill blade thing 30odd quid from Mr T.
