Grill with RS honeycomb design for Fabia I

[Benja190782]

I really like that RS honeycomb design, but I can't find it anywhere - I'm considering making it homemade myself.

Cutting it from this one or something like that.

 

 

Isn't there any OEM grill for the Fabia mk1 like this?

It would look awesome on my Fabia instead of those vertical lines in the grill:

Yep it is upper and lower

 

But didn't you buy the upper front grill - or is it totally homemade?

Home made. Cut out the vertical plastic parts, smooth it up a bit and bond the honeycomb in place

Close, but it doesn't look OEM enough, because it's too thin - it has to come from something like this:

Yeh that mesh does look better!

Any better?

Maybe a little better - but the depth is more like 10-12 mm. That's why I think it has to be made from a OEM grill, like on the Golf GTI etc.

 

Like this, look at the depth:

 

 

From what I can tell - Dark_Hero made his from the one you just found on ebay?

Why?

I actually really like your car, and in my personal opinion of course, I think the honey comb just doesn't suit the Mk1 Fab at all. 

The vertical grill seems to suit it much better due to the boxy/straight lines of the car

Well, maybe you're right actually... Just done a fast comparison: (very fast, lol)

Pah!  Trouble uploading my pics, but I measured my Mk7 GTD honeycomb grill and found the 'cells' to be 20mm deep (front to back), and 60mm wide at their widest point.
