SubscriberThe true value is $1400 and something, I missed the rest as I had a sudden drop in blood pressure. You can get a standard one a lot cheaper about $120 plus postage and modify that, as has been done.How much? Is that a typo?

SubscriberFor $1,400 you could probably get one CNC milled (or at the very last laser cut) to your exact specifications..... and have something REALLY unique.

SubscriberI made my own by just buying some stainless mesh with the greatest airflow /strength, and bent and sikaflexed it into a grille I bought second hand.
Looks much like the Saudi grille and AFAIK gives good airflow.
One day I will do the grille under the bumper.
BTW, I reckon it looks pretty flimsy and wonder how it would go with a bird strike, but I guess it is a balance between strength and airflow.
My total cost was AFAIR about $120 for 2 metres of mesh and $80 for a SH grille, and a can of pressure pack touch up at $20. If you used your own grille it would be cheaper.
I have plenty of mesh left to make another one.
I posted pics at the time. It has had no problems with its construction.

SubscriberCan you be specific re what mesh you used / where you got it?
I'm considering making up a custom grille for my Defender and haven't been able to find anything appropriate.

SubscriberOK I did a bit of digging.Can you be specific re what mesh you used / where you got it?
The supplier was EZImetal(ezimetal.com.au)
14 Motto lane Heatherbrae
02 49874210
email contact@ezimetal.com.au
The product was
Stainless 304 woven wire
Aperture 5.6mm
wire diameter-0.9mm
width-1525MM
qty1metre.
it cost $114.50 including $25 freight
I chose that as it had a void ratio near 70% which was one of the largest available, although the Land Rover stuff seems to have more void.
For a Defender you may not need the wide stuff.
