Thge same way as you do now.
If using the Jag XP mesh dont use their fixing screws that come with it but get some stainless ones instead to stop the rust running off them and spoiling your grill (allegedly)

Yeah for sure...the lip makes the car look more complete but it will help the car look better no matter if you have the 16's or not...they don't look right without the lip spoiler...get one they are decently priced on ebay...I'll have to do it some time I've said it many times I know but I'm so busy to even be able to get time to do it!

ORIGINAL: redmania

Ordered the lower and upper from XP. Also I have the spoiler. Was a tad bit worried as mine is a sport model, wondered whether it would would .....plus its in british racing green. I think it will work though.

Everything is de-chromed, lowe suspension, lip spoiler and a few other things....otherwise the same...although on the later ones like 05's they put a sports body kit and 18's on that made the car look even better...

Why? Mesh looks good if your wanting a sport model just paint it black...they look good in black imo...

Hey red.....................why you havin 2nd thoughts about the mesh bud?
Is it because of the chrome mesh?
If so go for the black mesh.................Its what I'm gonna do....Check out Ebay for a guy called Adamesh or even just type that into your browser... He's doin a deal on the black mesh grille upper n lower for £160
