Mesh grill glue ?
I want to install a racing mesh to protect the intercooler and radiator from rock chips and I want to DIY it, but not sure what to use to secure the mesh to the bumper.
I found this video but importing goop would take to long and seems overkill. Surely there has to be something similar in Europe. If anyone has any experience or has used something like this, I could really use some advice. Thx

I used zip ties to hold the mesh behind the kidney grilles, attached to the kidney grille mounts on the bumper. The lower centre and side grilles I removed and formed the mesh around the edges of them and locked them back in, using zip ties where necessary to provide additional security.

Not visible from the exterior. I did have some pictures of the back but seem to have misplaced them somewhere, this is the finished item off the car:

Looks awesome, it's exactly what I want. Thx for sharing. Your right, they are invisible unless you know where to look for them.

I bought it at a local shop, it should be generally available everywhere they sell tuning parts.

I read a post on here a while back that the factory had made a mesh screen for in front of the radiator. IIRC some have gotten it retrofitted after a radiator puncture, as a warranty/recall. Anyone have a part # or more info on that?
