u get the grill off by pushing down four little clips long the top, you will see them, there are two little clips also beneath the headlamps, these should just prise off. cut out the black slats from your grill, but you MUST LEAVE the black surround on the edge, as this is what you will use to secure your mesh to. i then used cable ties, ties the mesh on then trimmed the excess away. cannot notice them now unless you really stick your head down and have a good old nose around. whack the grill back on and jobs a goodun, took me all of 20mins

I normally buy it from a builders merchant (or off me next door neighbour who is a plasterer!)

as mike says, go to B&Q and buy a piece really cheap, i made the mistake of going to MPC is wallsall (excelent store) but i bought a metre square for a tenner! and the mesh is still sitting in my shed unused!

stuff from builders merchants also is galvvanised so should prevent it from rust or discolorantion for a good few months
