supra-alex Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 the other thing i ought to ask is "now the centre grille has come off is it still safe to drive and would it affect 'anything' in anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parksy Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Supras never came with a stock grille did they? Thought they always had the exposed rad? EDIT: Just read yours is a bomex... exposing way more than a stock bumper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just read yours is a bomex... exposing way more than a stock bumper... afraid so thats why im slightly concerned ? i phoned envy they said the grille mesh only costs £30 so after i'll just have to get local garage to fit it securely this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 On the front bumper opening, the top bit has a few holes so you can secure the mesh using bolts...so it doesn't ever fall off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 you could get a mesh sheet from halfords like i did, i got a bomex too... bumper comes off in 10 mins, believe me, i had it off 20 times in one day in the summer (as they say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 No mate, unless you have an FMIC tight against the bumper maybe. Garden Scateurs are good and quick to cut the mesh! Where protective gloves! Oh and maybe wise to make a cardboard template! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
