   As in title quick and easy were can you get cheap mesh for a front bumper without paying halfrouds rediculous £25 ones or getting them for £15 on ebay? Silly but garden centres?
   
   Thanks
   
   Also needing to respray the black plastic bumper strip on the front bumper as the blue sprayed slightely over the black but the strip is a differant texture to the bumper itself.

    Cheers guys another quick question while im on the topic. When i get the mesh and place it at the back of the bumper how can i secure it to the bumper? I cant use screws or nails as this will go streight through the bumper and its a wide mouth one aswell. Would something like silicone do?
    
    Thanks

    Cheers Guys well went to B+Q and they wanted £29! for the pattern i needed. You wont even see it because it only there to cover the engine bay exposed from the bumper will even be sprayed black. The Ebay job is the best offer by far willing to wait for it just giving the thumbs up
    
    Cheers
