3200 Front Grill.

[Spike62]

Well after D4dawg shamed me last night at Ace Cafe, I decided to tackle my front grill today and even if I say so myself, I'm pretty pleased with the result. Wish I'd done it last week before taking down to London yesterday.

Like it very much - must do mine - another sickie I think Spike!
Where did you get the mesh from?

 

[Parisien]

Oh....so chromed wire as opposed to the awful chicken wire in the 4200s.......

[cowsurgeon]

oooooooooooh! That looks nice! Where's the mesh from?

 

[Spike62]

Spray from a can, good quality paint, bit of masking tape, 4 removed srews and 2 hours work.......done.....oh and a bit of elbow grease with silvo polish!

 

[Parisien]

....oh............so not gone down the Jag chrome wire finish........looks great!

[NickP]

That looks very good Spike, much quicker & cheaper solution than the stainless Jag wire route that I took.... Wish I'd thought of this!

 

[Parisien]

NickP....got a link to where you got yours from?


P

 

[NickP]

Got mine from ebay, pain in the **** to cut it to size and fix it back onto the frame. I'll try and dig out the link but it was a while ago..

 

[Parisien]

No probs......thanks!

[Spike62]

Forget it and get some paint for £5.99

Nice one Spike. Did the same to mine. Rotary wire brush to get rid of the crud - no more than ten minutes. 3 coats of metallic spray - about an hour with drying and then three coats of lacquer - about the same. Job done, and thoroughly satisfying.

Ooooo
Mate what a difference!!
I'm a lil anal with my car but hey, it's lasted longer than most of the
Girls I'm with haha so it's worth spoiling it

Give Brendon a call n see about ur wing , and if without being a pain, you know what
I'd do now?

Go to halfords, they do triangle plate fixers, you screw them into existing plate
Holes and then attached via stickers to rear of plate, as that will rid you of those
Plate screws and if going whole hog, can get same Maz badge on plate at middle bottom
Lil things that make all the difference with out chaving it
But glad you sprayed it mate, such a difference !!!

mine already had it fitted, thicker wire looks chromed. Must have been a bit of a bugger to shape but looks nice, stayed bright with only a wash down each week. Never polished it.
