Swapping the grills over to a wider mesh. The old ones are a bit tatty, but prefer the Evora style wider mesh (look and air flow). Bought a nice black powder coated ali mesh.
Any bright ideas on getting the old sikaflex type stuff off. I’ve just cut through the first side scoop glue but it’s a shitty job. I don’t think heat would be safe.
Happy days.
PS Don’t turn this into a SELOC bun fight on poor gear changing
Thanks for all the replies, although to be fair it was a crap question as the screws came out with a bit of cunning.
There’s not much mileage in changing the front grill, it may as well be left out if I was that anal about air flow.
The side grills have been sorted a treat.
Pics below of old and new and fitted.
Made some wooden moulds to bang the new grill around.
Personally I think they look better, but unquestionably will let more air through… but no weasels.
Like those weasel stoppers. Been thinking along those lines for a while. As above where did you source the grill sheets? Also I agree they look better as well as sure to work better
I suggest you club together if you are nearby as these sheets are huge and would do several grills.
If you want to borrow the moulds I’ll send them on, U2U me
Black sikaflex from uksealants (�8.50 plus vat and P+P)
They look much better. Need to get mine sorted as think its more rust than paint. Plus with the exige going into the body shop next month, to get smartened up I need to do this.
Can I just ask if you can look at this item number from eBay and see if its the same mesh that you used. Item number is 121015622216.
Once again looks very nice and clean.

My mesh should be here in the next day or so and I recon I’ll have quite a bit over.
So PM me your address and I’ll send you a piece big enough for two grills.
