Anybody know of anybody who makes a mesh grill to go behind the large hole in the front bumper to protect the radiator from expensive stone damage as the radiator seems a bit vunerable to me or any other ideas.

Adge,

If you've got a MY99/00 then GGR do one. Not sure how much it is though.

Hi Adge,
I think it sells for about £70, but going by previous posts it comes with no instructions.
I too am interested in the grills can anyone who fitted the ggr kit let us know how it is done.
Cheers
Rob

Scoobs go pretty quick in reverse too you know. I'm surprised he doesn't have one covering the exhaust pipe.
