Wow, looks fantastic! I have been looking for mesh too so your post is a great help! I have now ordered the diamond pattern (like the Calais grill pattern) from SSV as well.

I can't wait to do mine when the order arrives.

I cut all the honeycomb out of an SS grill then cut the ebay mesh to fit. I then used cable ties to make the new mesh conform to the bent shape of the grill then I used some epoxy to glue it all together. When it was set I used my dremel to sand down the epoxy then i gave it a lick of paint and she was good to go.

if you look on ebay you can find a few different badge inserts for the ve grille made by ziggycv8z for about $60.
