V70 black mesh front grill
Guys, I'm sure this has been covered before, but has anyone cut out the
centre from a facelift V70 standard "waterfall" grill and fitted a mesh in its place ? I can't find anywhere now selling a black mesh grill for the facelift V70. If there are any pics available, that would be very helpful. (I know there's the alternative of painting the standard grill black, but I prefer the mesh look.) Thanks John

Black mesh grille
This is my latest effort, based on original waterfall grille with the centre
removed and wire mesh fitted. The waterfall grille is not the easiest to convert like this, took me quite a long time.

Can the grill be removed easily ? It certainly looks better in Black.

The grill is easy enough to remove without removing the bumper, with some simple tools.
Remove the plastic rivets along the top edge of the bumper. Ease the top forward & release the top clips using a long screwdriver. Use a hook tool through the front of the grill to release the lower clips.
