Here is my honeycomb grille I have been preparing with a black VRS badge. I have added some black ali mesh behind it, to help protect the radiator that little bit more.

 

I'll be fitting it as soon as there is a slightly warm-ish day. I'll post the after photos as well.

 

Many thanks to the OP, JohnnyType2, for this guide though!!

Here's the link to the mesh from Amazon, it is a 6x12 diamond, black aluminium mesh. It comes rolled up, so take some time to flatten it out a bit better.

I trimmed it up, and folded a small amount around the grille back edge, then added some high strength two part epoxy, which we use it at work to hold material onto plates for turning in CNC lathes, so I know it's not going to go anywhere.

I have attached an image, where the epoxy is setting, I tried to get it into the small channel around the outside of the honeycomb, that is not visible from the front of the grille.

I also tried to form the mesh to fit the back of the grille profile, with some gentle bending and persuasion, and held it in place with zip ties. The VRS badge I had, has a bracket on, which also helps keep the mesh located and fitting to form.

very tidy thanks, i think ill try hot glue as it sets fast
