You should be able to pick the stuff up at larger Halfords and some B&Q's. I have seen a number of ads the stuff in various max-poo type mags too.

Yeah got mine in Halfords. And the tie wraps too, you can get them in various colours so they nearly match the car and are quite discreet.

I didn't use tie wraps on my MR2, I glued it in place with a special alluminium bonding agent. Both the grille and glue I got from work. It was quite easy as there was enough space between the Rad and front splitters to get into the places to glue.

When I helped Nicola fit hers, we found there was no space between the rad and front splitters due to a radiator fitted to her car. The condenser is situated in front of the radiator. Initially we thought we would have to remove the entire bumper, but after consideration, we cut the grill into four bits (joins hidden by splitters and supports). we couldn't glue the grille in place due to the lack of access so we had to go down the tie-wrap route. I found that the vertical supports had removable covers, so we removed them and used very small tie-wraps to secure the grille and then re-fit the covers after thus hiding the tie-wraps ;)

Here's a pic of mine completed:

He actually meant the air-con unit.

I have larger holes in my mesh (4.99 for a giant sheet at B&Q), but its too dark to go outside and take a pic.
