Adge sells Stainless Steel Intercooler and Radiator mesh covers for a lot less than the commercial ones.

Cool

I am,

I've the p.e. one good product (all about the same really)

Just one thing......Don't listen to anyone who says"..... it cuts down on air reaching the intercooler"

Absolute load of bo*****s, we use filters made like these for the pumps at work (fire fighting)and they do not restrict flow (of any appreciable amount 0.5%....Not 15%)

besides my intercooler after 15k fastish miles , looks as if its brand new (i.e. no bent fins !!)

regards

m.

I made my own from some stainless steel square mesh from Homebase.
Cost about £5...but had enough to also use for grill and radiator protection..and had enough left to a mates intercooler as well
Been on for 6 months now.
