Grille refurbishment

[SpyderNick]

Hi all,

I have posted a thread before about chrome spraying the grill,]
I have redone mine twice now due to chipping/ware . I think that regrilling with anotehr mesh does look slightly better
and would not need reworking but i'm not good with metalwork and the respary isy very good for me.

I had the chrome surround and the Trident re-chromed and fitted a new stainless steel mesh grill to my 4200.

Took half a day to refit once all prepared.

Regards

Roger

Hi Nick

Nor am I, just had to cut the mesh and mould/bend it to fit the chrome surround and then fix it in place.

It was the cutting of the mesh with snips that was the hardest part and very time consuming.

If I can do it so can anyone!

The mesh came from ebay, the seller is the Mesh-Company and it is Stainless Steel Jaguar Grille Mesh - 930mm x 295mm and cost about £25 for the sheet. This is plenty big enough to do the front grille.

Here he is:
