Get ya mesh from super cheap, they have a few different colours too, I just stuck to black tho. I used the four mounting bolts on the side of the radiator instead of the three bolts that hold the radiator on as you cant see them with the guard on (looks better).folded the aluminium edges into a u shape around the mesh then pressed it together and welded the corners.
