Hello,
I purchased it in a DIY supermarket (bauhaus). They have rolls of this plastic that they sell by meters.
I supose it's a PET plastic, but I don't care about it...its so cheap.
Two remarks after 20.000km of use the grille block:
-Last summer in the french coast at 35ºC in a trafic jump I checked that the engine temperature was stable without need of the electric fan.
And the fuel economy (that depends on speed) is between -0,2 and -0,3l/100km with the grill blocked. Now, I obtain averages of 5,2 to 5,6 liters/100km (45,23 to 42 MPG) with average speed 80 or 90km/h (50 or 56 m/h)
-And in cold wheather, the engine takes less time to reach the working temperature, that will increase engine's live (I supose).
Bye
