**** my boots!

This is the exact mesh I bought from halfords for £22.99.

How much of a mark-up do those jokers want!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RGM-COMPETITI...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Starting bid of £5.99.

This mesh doesn't need any thing to hold it on. There are two pegs on the back of the bumper. Push the mesh onto these and then it gets held on by the cooler. I was sceptical too but it does work and looks good.

This mesh is only 300mm x 450mm, is that big enough to cover the hole? :confused:

Went into Halfords today (and checked their website) but looks as though they're no longer doing the plastic honeycomb mesh that some of you used to use, i.e:

Had a look on ebay but not found much that looks the same. Does anyone know if you can get this anywhere else? Trying to find some plastic honeycomb mesh that looks as OE as possible really.

Yeah i went over to halfords the other day to look for the plastic mesh. I ended up getting the metal mesh and sprayed it black.

Cheers for the reply and PM mate :) Legend - will order some now (if there's anything left of my bumper by the time we've trimmed it back enough for the cooler)

Google? Bing ;)

Err, see above posts? :)

It's the RGM ME2 Competition mesh you want. Lots of places charge extortionate postage but Demon Tweeks seemed to be the cheapest I could find at £28 all in
