I didn't mean to sound like I was knocking the mesh that you use - if I did I'm sorry.

There is another designer at my office that has a metallic blue Jaguar XJR. The car has the polished S/S woven mesh grille with the body colour grille surround. Every time I walk past his car I am disappointed that Ford gave us the cheap plastic faux mesh grille with the chrome grille surround on the US (Mondeo) Contour while the rest of the world got the same high quality grille that they put in the Jaguar. If I am going to replace my grilles I intend to correct this insult at the same time.

My only consolation right now is that I have the better parking place! Seniority has its advantages.
