added mesh to help protect the radiator and intercooler from further stone damage, its painted black so hardly noticeable from the front

Looks good! The mesh grille is a brilliant idea, dont know if you see much winter where your from but my radiator is chipped as hell after one winter!

after only 4000mile radiator and intercooler have taken quite a few hits from stones, std grills allow big pieces of debris through

That's perfect! Where did you get the mesh? I assume you cut it to size your self? Would like to know the details. Thanks!

one 500mmx500mm sheet of aluminium hex and cut it slightly oversize so its held in by the rubber seals on the inside, then painted it black
