   mate try ebay, i got myself 4ft of alloy mesh for £3! Its got really small holes in, as apposed to the stuff from halfords which has large holes, but i think it looks pretty cool. just type in grill mesh.

    It works... but anything will work with enough brute force and super glue.
    
    Say no to chicken wire.
