Mesh-Screen for C4S or Turbo Front Bumper Grilles

I removed my front bumper cover last week to clean the radiators.
Took the opportunity to send the bumper cover to the bodyshop to fix some imperfections and get a fresh paintjob.

The debris that I cleaned off the radiators was enough to make me think of putting a mesh-screen behind the air-inlet grilles.

So since I couldn't drive the car without the front bumper,
and it won't be ready for pickup till tomorrow, I spent the time working on the mesh-screen.

I used a black plastic mesh for a subtle look, instead of the shiny metal mesh.
Here are pics the finished pieces, what do you guys thinK? I'm pretty happy with it.
And I'll post more pics after I've installed them on the car.

Cool. I should do that to mine. How did you attach the screen?

pongobaz is infamous around these parts
Looks almost OEM, let us know how it works out after a high speed run. If they hold tight, I might have to do the mod too.

Added Pictures of the modded Grilles on the car and a DIY Write-Up

I finally got the freshly re-painted front bumper cover back, and installed it on the car with the modded grilles.

If any of you guys are interested to see the final results, and I've also done a DIY Write-Up with Pictures HERE
