Which grill is it? SR/GTE, early Mk1 one-piece, early saloon grille, poverty spec late Mk1, or a Mk2

lol, Sell them? Depends what grill it is. There should be plastic tabs around the edge of the grill where the slats are fixed to the grill. Drill out the plastic welds and hey presto! Probably a poor explanation TBH, sorry lol

If its a mk2. I just melted them out with a red hot screwdriver. Doubt you would be able to put them back in however.

Mesh is for gays, I must point out.

i used a solderin iron in the same way craig green did and to put it back in melt cable ties back over the lugs

slats are better btw

keep it standard - mesh is so 90's and youre forever picking dead flies out of it!

If you HAVE to remove the slats you can drill then out or just use a soldering iron. If however you drill then carefully you can usually sink screws back into the frame once youve laid your gay mesh over it.
