intercooler cover
a mate of mine took my intercooler off yesterday and spent an hour straightening all the fins, looked new when he finished.
so to try and keep it working well i made this cover today, what do you think?

no, the picture makes it look that way but its quite a fine mesh.
also has angled fines on the mesh should draw the air in
