wire meshing

[Guest mightymax]

hi i am thinking of doing a DIY mesh to cover up the front of the Car.prefer to be black..

Any idea where to get the wire mesh from and what to use to stick it to the front bar???

depending on what mesh your looking for.. obviously if your looking for that ricey mesh stuff i think auto barn gets it.. you can spray it black, but with my old car i needed to find a bigger peice to fit fmic part(i know i dont have one, but the hole there) so i was looking around, and auto barn arent that exspensive, its just in general not cheap..

if you just want some basic black stuff to protect intercooler etc, then NIZ30 said he asked a plumber or somethin for some, paid $5 for enough to do his bar twice over(from what he said)...

im sure a place like jetspeed or carmate would have mesh. though carmate's isnt the best. its like chicken wire...i removed all of my mesh from carmate - i'll be visiting jetspeed soon i think...

umm so far they do look like they make good stuff, but me and dave called them, for stuff like what auto barn has..

you get it in like a sheet of 2 m by 1m,

and it costs $115 i think.. well its over $100

so it might be wise to split it with someone :S

the stuff autobarn has is cheap overpriced shit.

the stuff that metal mesh place is really nice shiny stainless steel stuff

i'd take the metal mesh anyday.

hmm someone told me they went and got some for 40 bucks, must of been an offcut.

i got mine from a place at smithfield area the places name is

ULRICH aluminium (i think thats right).

they had a couple of different types to chose from including the most popular/common types

i got a full shet (2mx1m) for mine for only $50 easily enough to do the front bar on 2 cars. mine is a 400R bar so i used quit a bit but still had heaps left over.

best way to fit it is to take your bumper off measure the size of each individual piece of mesh,(from the inside of your bumper) with enough excess mesh to fold over the corners and sides of the holes your putting the mesh in. once in place with the side folded over use hot glue to secure it, easy as that.

the hot glue is very god for this cause you dont need to drill ugly holes in your bumper.

mine turned out great.

Hot glue available from hardware stores?
