Non RS-BlackTwingo-i Progress

[Chicken]

dont get mesh it will look s**t and likely be a terrible grade of metal which will flex and bend and be chavvy and s**t.

Found some decent stuff ACTUALLY! Its powder coated black and is 2mm thick.. Cant go wrong with a tenner..

What else do you suggest?

Just buy some chicken wire

Never understood why it's called chicken wire.... We have chickens but don't use chicken wire as its not needed.

We use a netted fencing.

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Because chicken wire looks crap, and i dont want the bare metal look, will look crap.

I want it black, it diamond shape.. Trust man!

well you might be alright with that, i just know people that have done it on zsoc on the lower gril and its literally ripped in heavily wind hahaha.

but yeah get that if its cheap its worth a try.

Been having a play today for upcoming mod..

Bit of a ball ache removing the grills.. But should be sorted in about a week with the new grill going in!

This is very interesting...

If i had £150 to blow on nothing ide buy this and start some front bumper mods like removing the reg plate beam.. Relocate the number plate, make it look super mean!

Maybe even something with the fogs?
Just dreaming though, no money for that kinda stuff these days

 

[mikehealy5]

saw this and thought you might wanna see it for ideas for your mesh ....

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Thats done of a freeway haha!

And i aas thinking more like this..

But no intercooler, just mesh about an inch or 2 in

 

[mikehealy5]

very nice! the only thing is that no matter how you do it the reg plate will ruin it!!

you can do this to mine once your done with yours! haha

il get the intercooler you bring the hacksaw!!!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I know!! I think it would have to either go bottom right, or get a square one bottom right..

When i had the bumper off today, it is really simple to take the rail out, but ide probably put abit of extra supports around the opening, cause it could get quite flimsy!

Buy that bumper on ebay and we can have a play

 

[mikehealy5]

yeah could use a square one,

rail? you on about the part that the plate backs on to?

if i was made of money i would but could you imagine the argument that would cause with the misses?? even more so when she realises theres f*ck all wrong with the bumber already on the car! haha she would have my balls for wasting money!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Hahaha exactly the same issue over here mate and yeah i mean the bumber plate bit as the rail!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Daylight pics of grill removal..

Looks good from here, but admitidly up close it looks like theres something missing and you can just see the radiator and plastic bits.. Looks unfinished

Ordering the mesh today!

 

[LCplParks]

Looks promising! exciting to see what it looks like with mesh on and yeah agreed up close it doesn't look as good :/

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Yeah does look crap and plasticky up close, the plastic piece can easily be put back in if the mesh doesn't do a good enough job!

Can't go wrong for £15 :lol: getting it ordered tomorrow

Also, put my flag sticker on..

I don't like it, it's definitely coming off, was worth a try!

I think it's the red colour clashing with the 133.net orange bit..

It did look good on a red car but don't think it belongs on mine!!

 

[LCplParks]

Haha get an Irish flag? That'll be nice and colour coded even if it would be completely unrelated

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Haha! I actually imagined the same thing!! Think I'll just go without, still think I waant this on the back..

 

[Kelly_GT]

Cars looking good, looking foward to seeing it with the mesh

 

[weebob]

What size is the flag? I'm going to order one to hide a tatty bit

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Haha good idea chrisweebob

Its 100mm x 60mm, and cost about £1.75!

Thanks kelly! Hope it looks good, few ways i could fit it..

Wide headed self tapping screws, only smalls one though...
Could bond ever few inches with something similar to no more nails?
Clear silicone on the inside edge?

Dont want to see anything at all, will have a look what i can get!

 

[craig92]

how did you take the plastic grill off? just cut it?
