Installing Mesh on VX S-Pack Kit

[Jesterarts]

Hey people,
Just got a request for info about how i installed my front mesh so i figured i would just post a thread on it.

STUFF:
Mesh, 8 screws, 8 washers, 8 nuts (hehe) 4 toggle switch mounts from super cheap and plastic gule

STEP 1:
remove front bar, three screws at the top middle of the bar near the bonnet latch and a couple in each guard.
STEP 2:
Clean the surfaces you will be gluing to with metho
STEP 3:
Glue the toggle brackets to the front bar, let the glue fully dry (Over night) before attaching the mesh
STEP 4:
Attach the mesh using screws that fit the toggle mount holes and large washers.
STEP 5:
Replace front bar.

Cheers for the info mate, will give this a go to my car now

Do you actually bend the mesh around the mouth of the spoiler,
or just cut to shape and screw in to place?

Comes up nice as a finished look

i got an easy mod 4 u guys that i did with my grills that r goin in my front bar wen its painted they r all prepped up ready 2 go pretty much n is the same as wat jesterarts did with his bar

i cut all the grill inserts out sanded em back smooth and then glued some small plastic bits much like the toggles but not as fancy haha and then primed the grills up and put the mesh on them n then screwed screws into those plastic bits i glued on

I've seen it at Supercheap Auto in various colours.

What colour would everyone think would suit Heron White?

Black/White, or a Champagne/White colour?

Thanx,

Just cut the mesh to size.
I bent it abit so if better fit the curve of the mount as its not totally straight.

You could try Repco / Auto one etc otherwise you might have to do a quick run to Supercheap at Tamworth.

[Jesterarts]

Yeah, any of them sell it, i've seen it at burson's even...

wrx884, I was thinking of doing the same thing. Take a pic when it's installed and post it here if you can. I'd rather see what it looks like first before attempting. Thanks mate.

Ive had them on with the primer b4 i can take a pic like that if thats ok??? coz im not gettin them painted till the bars on n painted its pretty simple ay all up only cost bout 20 bucks 2 do

[wrx884]

Heres that pic u wanted spyder i dont think it would look half bad with the mesh in the bottom dam aswell even if its just an original bar im hoping that it will look nice with my supercar bar tho im gonna mesh that also but got 2 things im thinkin bout doin puttin either fog lights in the 2 holes beside the dam or mesh that aswell wat do u guys think would suit best?

[Dayvo]

Just be careful when you bend the mesh as it has a tendancy to split if bent too much

[Jesterarts]

Damn, that looks nice...
Wish VX SS kits just had inserts instead of being part of the pront bar...

[BOGANV8]

Started mine today got the bumper off and started cutting the mesh then a massive cold snap and rain so it was bloody cold in the garage so i had to go inside



Will continue it tomorrow will post up pics when i finish
