I've been searching far and wide (on t'internet!) for black chrome mesh to replace my silver steel mesh with but I'm having a tough old time finding it!

 

The only ones I can find are matt black and made of polyurethane. I've checked the local garden centre with a view to painting the steel but the smallest diamond they have is 13mm across which wouldn't stop a small rodent to be fair!

 

Anyone know where I can find the stuff???

theres a couple. :D

I emailed a guy off ebay (forgot who was a long time ago) and he sent me some samples to choose from.

I always found Halfords mesh VERY soft on my old car. I had to change the bottom grill 4 times over 2 years as it gets badly dented. Well worth it though as it stopped a hub cap going through my rad on the motorway.

Thanks for the quick replies! I actually went down to Halfrauds last night...terrible crap they sell there! I think a paperman-chain would look better and provide more protection!

 

Will check out those links though. Had a look on ebay too but still just seems to be polyurethane if black....

Just be careful getting mesh with too small a hole, as its acts like a brick wall at speed completely blocking air.
