Air intake embellishment
I've seen some pictures of F's and TF's with some kind of decorative mesh behind the boot lid air louvres and side intake louvres. Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain a sheet of this stuff and what it's called?

Re: Air intake embellishment
You can get ready cut sets on ebay or you can get a sheet of mesh from Halfords.

Re: Air intake embellishment
As has been already said you can get chrome sets from eBay (see: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=mgf+ ... &_osacat=0) or from various parts suppliers.
You might pick a set up at the MG Show at Stoneleigh on 21 February. There's a number of us going to Stoneleigh from the West of England region if you would like to join us ~ see the thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4388 for further details.

Re: Air intake embellishment
If you know the sizes you need these people are really good, and you can get proper s/s woven mesh

Re: Air intake embellishment
I got my woven mesh from the Ripspeed side of Halfords years ago. It's good stuff, tough to cut to shape but you wouldn't want it any other way. One large sheet, cut it to your own shape using the old ones as a pattern.
