For those that hate the honeycomb inserts on the 400...
Not the best pics, but like many others, I couldn't stand the honeycomb plastic inserts on the front of my 400. The uppers are the oem lotus ones from the 410, and the 3 grill inserts are custom. I think it's a dramatic improvement. I'll try to get a couple better pics tomorrow when it quits raining.

Technically a shop did it for me while some other work was being performed. The honeycomb part has just been removed from the oem piece with a Dremel and then the mesh bent into shape and secured. Tedious but not crazy.
Only thing I'm not completely happy with is the shape/size of the mesh they used. I didn't get to see it before the work was done, and it's slightly bigger holes than the oem mesh thats in the upper vents and in the rear sail piece. I may source some that matches perfectly and redo it, but it's fine till winter.
I think it is one of those UK/US things. I paid a hundred bucks for a piece of the Exige hatch mesh because I could not find the same size expanded mesh that they used. I am certain it is a standard thing over there, they just have a different 'standard'
