Custom rs4 mesh in bumper

[s4BoostKing]

I am currently having a rs4 bumper sprayed to get put on my s4.. It does not have and inserts to put grilles in so I was wondering if anyone has done or has a diy to put the rs4 mesh into the lower grille openings..

The bumper I have DOES NOT have any way of putting the fog grilles in.. I was looking to just somehow rig the mesh into the opening of the bumper.

Within that thread were several suggestions for putting grilles into bumpers using zipties. I'm assuming you're using a fibreglas replica RS4 bumper?

It is a urethane bumper.. I don't neccessaritly want to hack up my bumper but it would look a lot better with the mesh

Your best bet would be to bond brackets to the inside of the bumper and attach mesh to that. Urethane is fairly difficult to get reliable adhesion to. If your car is dark, zipties are probably the solution.

I have the rs4 grilles and oem rs4 front bumper, the best way to do it is to drill a small hole right in front of where the grilles sit and centered from left and right of the grille. you use a small zip tie and zip tie them in, I did this for the left and right(one drilled hole for left and one for right and two drilled holes for the center grille evenly spaced.

the rs4 grilles are known to pop out and are left on the roadside, zip ting them completely eliminates this. Gluing anything is just asking for a lost set of grilles. also with the small zip tie you can rotate the grille up and out of the way and then pop them back into place when done doing whatever you are doing(towing comes to mind)

you dont see the zip tie if you do it right and you have peace of mind knowing you wont lose the grilles

in your case your making mesh, if you have a oem rs4 bumper you can shape the grilles you are making so the bottom slip into the cut outs for the oem grilels to stay in place and use a single zip tie up top to keep them from flying off. the trick is to cut the top part so the mesh part you use is butt up against the bumper so when you zip tie it its not squishing the mesh.
