Having the profile fit over the mesh was my preference, but I soon gave up on the idea! I compromised by having the outer profile leg longer than the inner profile leg, and welding the mesh to the outer leg so that it could not be seen.
My profile is also 40mm deep so it was possible to have it fit inside the cowl, yet also project 10mm forward of it.
I did not weld mine, I used a mate who welds stainless for a living!
Good luck with trying to profile yours in the other orientation!
Could you do it the way I have, and then weld a flange around the outer edge to give the same look that you are aiming for? This could then soak up any tolerances against your future nose cone? Just a thought...........?
