Wire mesh grille?
I have seen people mention wire mesh grille's for the rover 75? within the forum, are these items available to buy or does someone on the site fabricate them?

They are a DIY job. Buy a replacement grille if you don't want to cut your own, remove the fins and attach the mesh. Several variances of mesh available on eBay.
I made this style

It's not expensive to do and can be done on the kitchen table in the warm
Just be careful cutting the fins out to prevent any damage. I also ran a chrome strip around mine to finish it off and hide any nasties.

Nice one Ronnie. Looking 'Brilliant' as usual.
I like the look of the 'Larger' mesh (ala Bentley). I'm sure you've been asked many times, but did you buy your Front Grill Badge, or did you have it made ? trimani (ALF) |

Pop the bonnet as normal, then put your fingers between the bonnet & slam panel & push the hook back away from the bonnet loop or, fit a later ZT style bonnet catch |
