340 meshed grill
Keep seeing these on different 340's from time to time and I quite like the look of them and wouldn't mind one. Few Q's
Who makes them?
Where can I get one?
How much?
Cheers

think they make them themselves mate could be wrong but i have not seen any being sold before halfords sell mesh in all sorts of colours pretty simple to make i made one for a polo at one point not my kind of thing though if im honest lol
Re: 340 meshed grill
Ye, used the halfords mesh a few times and looks good.
Thought these were proper made grills as I'm after as much air to the front mount as possible. If there not available I'll look at makin my own.

Re: 340 meshed grill
Adam made mine. You're just best off chopping up an old fire guard or going to B&Q or something. Smaller mesh works better. Be prepared for it to be flimsey.
Re: 340 meshed grill
made mine using just the frame part of the origional grille and a bit of mesh from the motor factors. Hot glue and a tin of black spray later and it Looked pretty good i think
Withstood a 60mph Pigeon too
I'm currently trying to make one like Adam's by chopping out the bits behind the badge and making the rest up with a bit of plastic welding (if i ever get the hang of it) and a load of filler
How the last one looked ^^

Re: 340 meshed grill
I didn't realise the middle of the grille came out, I'll have a go at it once I've got some mesh. Did my old vrs grill and bumper so can't be as hard as them.
