open grille k10

[K10-Lew]

So i started my grille today, i did it with a kitchen knife and it worked pretty well. I've left it like this because im unsure wether to open it all up...

Leave it or open it all?
Do you have to use fibreglass and filler when you fill the holes in? Or can you just use filler by itself?

Oh yeah, mesh on there was grinded off an old ironing bored haha
Thanks.

Good Luck

Get a spare of a scrapper, paint it your colour, then you can do whatever you like to your current, and they'll be that spare incase you ever want to go back to standard.

yeah theres a micra at my local garage but they need to see if its off to the scrap yard or not... do i need fibre, can i just use filler?

You'll need fibre glass really otherwise the filler has nothing to bond onto.

I like it the way you have it, with the badge wouldn't look as good without the centre piece IMHO, looks more proportional.

what i did which is probably bad but worked is cut a strip of plastic from the horizontal slats and put them over the back of the grille and super glued so the filler (that i used) sticks to the plastic instead of just going straight through the hole. Like this:

Cheers BG, i think im gonna leave it in now.

Or use another plastic to bridge the gaps, and use plastic filler.

Chris you would have to wrap the image location. eg.

So it would be this:

if your using FB goto the image right click and then click 'copy image location' then click on this icon above the text box on here:

click on the right tab, enter the copied image location.
then choose whether to have it displayed as a thumbnail (click to full screen) or full size already (the little tick box is to change the display type.)

And WELCOME! (Y)

Will try that next time....thank you!
