Hi guys, What you should be looking for is called "wire cloth". I also have the UT grille and the mesh that they included is less than crap. The wire cloth is available in stainless steel and should be speced as "intercrimped" to keep it from losing it's square orientation. Ask for intercrimped wire cloth, #2, stainless steel, 16 gauge wire. The wire cloth will need to be turned 45 degrees and then trimmed before securing it to the grille opening. Most distributors of wire cloth have minimums to ship so this can be expensive but, it's your baby.

I'm on the East Coast in and work for and architect so we get a lot of catalogs from metal suppliers. I have a catalog from McNichols co. (www.mcnichols.com) but you can also Google the words "wire cloth" to get a larger list. Like I said in the previous post, most suppliers have minimum orders ($$) so it will be in your interest to get some local friends together to make the order.

I think that's right...
He just made one for the QX56...the grill is the Bentley style grill.
Looks hot.
Maybe we can get him to do something for the Gs.
I want one for my M.

I take it you are talking about this grill....With a black border, it would look incredible on my coupe. I may infact contact him about making something for us.
Looks like the upper grill portion is only $149! Incredible price if the quality is up to par. In any case, I'll give them a call...
