That is an option, but then you can see the glue true the grill..

Hopefully I've got time this weekend to put the grilles on.
Only thing I'm not sure about is the foam behind the grill. 
I see that many other brands use not the standard speaker foam (something like the stuff on D&B C4 and stuff).

Has anybody some suggestions?

That foam is fine, get a good bond to the grille but be prepared that over time it will come loose from getting wet and the pressure.

Hard to tell but that looks more like a woven fibre rather than a foam - something like (a more upmarket version of) one of these: http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=MON129240&browsemode=category or http://www.terralec.co.uk/covering__lining/nylon_fret_material/17060_p.html or https://www.thomann.de/gb/adam_hall_0715.htm perhaps?

I went for the standard D&B C4 looking stuff, and now I am in the process of attaching the stuff to the grill.
I got advised to use white wood glue, and apply it with a paint roller. But It won't stay on..
I used the "quick dry version" (had it laying around) but it doesn't' work.

Biggest problem with the standard glues for the foam, is that they heave leftovers that you can see through the frill, and that would be really unfortunately.
Does anyone have tips or tricks?

Nice, always suggested that tapped horns should have full face grilles - arsey engineers who want a 218 reflex will quite easily be fooled without much argument then!

I'm very happy with the cabs yes! The only thing I would do differently the next time is the paint.
As said before (many times on forums) spraying gives the nicest effect (my opinion).
But that can be done in the future, when they need a new coat Smile.
