Go silver, if you don't like it, paint it black, simple!

The pics on the site are all the same, so hard to compare, but for a gap that big in the bumper I'd be inclined to go with the wide mesh I think...

Hi Dave,
Just to let you know, we can also do another mesh which is cut to size - the shape is a 'square' diamond shape and is ideally suited to bigger front bumpers like this (I have it on my car as well).

It's very tough, high quality stainless steel mesh.

If you measure the amount you would need I could give you a quote for it. :wink:

HTH

Mike.

Cheers Mike,

It works out at 100Cms by 32.5Cms (allowing for some decent slack), i'll probably be going for the powertec 50MM cold air feed as well, so if you want to PM me a price for the lot shipped, that'd be sweet!!

Hey Mike,

a quick suggestion - the pic for the narrow and wide meshes on the side are identical, would be handy to have a bigger pic to show the difference between them.

Oh ya - pm me if you guys can do Razo gear knobs...

Sounds like a sensible suggestion to me! :wink: - I'll get onto it.

Sorry, we don't do Razo at the moment (looks like you've found one though... :) )

Has to be wide mesh in black for me - its too big a gap for silver coloured mesh. The cold air induction kit would be an nice addition.
