Install radiator protective screen

Planned

C5 radiator protective screen purchased for Robin; installation is still pending.

The project record

Where the project stands

I have the radiator protective screen ready for Robin, but I have not installed it yet. It is a practical little addition intended to help keep larger road debris away from the radiator area.

The listing describes an aluminum mesh screen for the C5 and Z06. I will document the fit and installation when I put it on Robin. The product image shows the intended location, not a completed installation on my car.

This page starts with the plan and selected parts. Installation photos, decisions and results will be added as the work happens.
