Great mod. It definitely looks a lot neater. How'd you attach the Nissan logo to the mesh?

If you want to do a write up stick it in the FAQ>Tech Article Submission board.

In answer to your question Jono,
i used  ply wood to make up the space which i lost when I 1st cut the badge off (i used liquid nails to stick the ply onto the badge), then i also tried using liquid nails to try and smooth everything out but later realized while i was sanding that it just bloody peeled off lmao so i found a tub of ceiling puddy to mold and smooth it out which works a shit load better.... just alot of Patience....but yeah then the i stuck the badge to the top half onto my grill and then found that there still was like a 2 or 3mm gap from the bottom of mt badge to the actually grill so then i got my trusty Ol' ceiling puddy out andagain and it worked a treat sooo yeah and for the mesh being stuck onto the badge thats a not go didn't even think of that lol i haven't even used anything to stick the mesh into the back of my grill its just sit nice and snug with no rattling or anything so i figures just leave it...

Nice fabrication skills there  :)

I'd be a bit worried about the mesh falling/getting blown out of the grille, but that's just me.

Nah right behind the grill is like a bar that sticks up and thats where the horn is so that will kinda hold it in placelike like right up against it but yeah cool thanks for your feed back jono.

Looks nice :)

I'm not a mesh fan, I have mesh on mine but it's simple and functional. I'm painting it black anyhow.

None the less, looks a lot cleaner how you've done it. I highly approve :)
