Mesh

[Mark]

Where can i get some black mesh from for my grill and front bumper. I think halfrauds sell it in their novaboy section but i dont want to pay £20 for £2 worth of mesh, so is there anywhere else i could get it (couldnt see any at B&Q)

[Ken]

B&Q do stock it though Mark, not sure if you will get black though, this for your grill?

[Creasey]

B&Q Superstores (the really big warehouse ones) sell it for much less than Demon Tweeks etc do. Needs to be one of the big ones though.

[Dave_S]

Well theres one of those in Colchester. I'll take a look tomorrow if you want Mark?? I could do with some tbh. You could always spray it black?

Dave

[Creasey]

Yeah sorry, I did have to spray mine black now that I remember.

[Mark]

We have a B&Q whorehouse ;) at Lakeside but i couldnt see any :mad: as i need to be spoon fed any idea what section it would be in :notworthy

I considered spraying it black but didnt want it chipping off and looking crap.

Will go look again 2morrow now i think

[Ken]

I work at the B&Q warehouse in Sutton, I'll have a look for you tomorrow and find out what section its in

[Doug]

Its by the plastic sheeting Ken :thumbs: like aisle 11 or 10 right at the end


(used to work there too) :wack:

I had to go to Bournemouth to find a big enough store. I think it was in some sort of 'interior decorations' type section. Like, where the wallpaper might be?? :confused:

Cheers guys :thumbs:

Spotted it when I ordered my Almera clear lenses!

[Dave_S]

But it's REALLY expensive for what it is??? you can get about 1m2 of that stuff in B&Q for £15-20 :)

Dave

If only B&Q sold clear textured plastic to go on the front of my front indicators! :(

I got a big sheet of diamond mesh years ago that I never got round to fitting...until this weekend...on the S14. http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/grinser/grinning-smiley-018.gif

[Cookie]

Homebase also do some seriously cheap mesh in their bbq section.

I was advised by my bodyfitter NOT to get the ally mesh. Apparently after a few weeks/months it will chip (if its painted) and start to corrode - basically it will look pants!
Go for the stainless variety - painted or not, it will still look good for years :thumbs: It is however a bit expensive - the mesh on my bumper cost £50! :eek:

[Dave_S]

Well I had a go at a meshed grill yesterday and couldn't get it to look anything other than fcuking shite! :(

So I've given up :)

Dave

[RazMan]

How come mate? The best way to fit it is to stick a few P40 blobs on the inside and self tap the mesh into that. :D

[Mark]

did you cut any of the grill out Dave. I am just spraying mine, have put so many fooking hours into it, it better look good when i have finished or i will be well pissed.

Got a sheet of Metal Lath (plasterers mesh) from B&Q £4.78 for a 2500 x 700 sheet :thumbs: Its galvanised as well :D

[Nicely]

I used this stuff:

i just used some of that B&Q mesh and painted it black, looks top notch in my view.........

i also removed the brick this weekend, and now have a lovely square plate at the front which improves the looks no-end
