Willie you can indeed, but it looks pants. One of the guys at my local dealership did it to his 106, spent Â£20 on expensive chicken wire and a couple of quid on the SP badge - lo and behold, a Blue Peter style mesh grille. I won't be taking pics. take it from me - it's worth spending the Â£180 so people...

A quick tip - use the forum search function before posting, this topic has been touched on before.

i agree if you can afford a CC then just buy the real mesh grille

how cheap and nasty - why would anyone even consider using chicken wire - does the guy have anough money to fill the tank?

I've got an idea - make a CC out of chicken wire and cover with paier mache!
