Got some wider shots of the front?
What did you use to mount the mesh? |

I did the same on my previous one when the IC went on.
Kept meaning to do it to this one, but I lost my roll of mesh and never quite remember to get more! It does work very well though! Bit of extra protection to (Never a bad thing )! |

Love it. Is the mesh just sandwiched in or have you attached it at all?
Which mesh size did you go for as that looks perfect? |

It is actually attached, yes - using the fir tree / press-in things that holds the grill on.
Unsure of the gauge / size of mesh - just went with what I thought looked about right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first job involved driving from Southampton to Wick in a 300TDI (twice) The experience of 3000 miles in a Defender has never left me (for many reasons!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

What is protecting the paint of the grille surrounds from the mesh?

Love it!!
I'll take that over a KBX any day. It's functional as well, keeping debris out of the rad / condenser that somehow always seems to get in there. Brilliant. |
