DIY Mesh Grill on My Alto

[rakeshkn]

HI TAIns

this weekend I did a much awaited DIY on my altos grill. Installed mesh. I am happy with the works and not with the perfection. Sharing some of the pics. Please have a look and advice me what to modify for better looking grill.

Looks good, you could have used a mesh with bigger holes it would look much better.

Also you could fill up the gaps below the grill.
May be a S logo will add more character to it.

But varun please advice my which type shops sell this type of meshs? I searched two days for this mesh

 

[Varun560061]

Go to some hardware shops you will get it, usually those type mesh are used for construction get them wont cost more than 50 rs.

Did you used the stock bracket for fitting the mesh grill? What sort of cutting/pasting was involved, I love the mesh grills but can't dare to experiment with my Dicor's stock grill. Could you post a step-by-step guide?

P.S: Well Done!

sure I will post pic and details. by words I just cut the grill and applied mesh with m seal and sanded painted. I just did it with confidence because the stock grill not cost more than 350 Rs

Rakesh, it looks like a nice job done. I think painting black on the mesh make it look more beautiful. Seeing a KL 41 registration car on TAI makes me more happy. My 3 vehicles also had 41 registration.
