Hi to all,

 

Just wondering if anyone can point me or link me in the right direction to sourcing some of this material/mesh used by this chap for his front grille? 

 

Im doing a classic version of the mini gp works car so this would suit my build quite well i think. 

 

Any ideas or alternative suggestions would be great, thanks.

That looks like pretty standard fencing material found at most DIY places to be honest

Sort of, closest I can bring to mind is the green plastic moulded chain link style fencing. 

but I am pretty sure it I have seen some like that before

actually this stuff is better.. its plastic so will flex and not 'dent' like the aluminium stuff. Its also got the right size honeycomb holes in (30mm x 10mm) rather than the aluminium version (12mm x 5mm) 

 

sweet.
