Hi.
I'm a newbie to forum and this is my first post so thought I would make it useful.
I've been looking at rad guards on flee bay for a while now
They look good and aren't a bad price. About £80
But I'm tight and prefer to make things myself. :lol
So I purchased a length of mesh (1000mm×400mm)
£7 bargain!
Here is a step by step guide (ish) and pictures of the finished project.
Firstly I removed the necessary trim, rad protectors, rad skirt and the belly pan fairing.
Measured the radiators and cut out the mesh, on the main radiator i used 6 points to screw it down, two up top, two at bottom and one even side of the rad.
Same with the bottom two rads. But this time I only used to fixing points, one either side.
All in all it took about an hour. Reasonably easier job to do. And a lot cheaper. Obviously doesn't look as good as a £80 set but for what it is I think it does the job!
