Mk6 Si Ross Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Is that similar to the ST24 mesh??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4TT Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 i think its bigger spacing that ST24, cos me girlfriends dad as a W reg mondeo 2.0l zetec and that has a st24 grill and that looks closer together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee R Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 thats what I want to do to the top and bottom grills... might get round to it one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4TT Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 i have another sheet for the bottom, did you no that you can get the the bolts to get the bumper of by taking the front grill off and the plastic thing that the grill screws into, the ones on the right are pigs to get to, but i think you can get the bottom grill out from the top, or as someone tried this and it don't work, it looks like it will but not tried it yet.
