Did you pose for that pic, or were you really crying?

Anyway, I would suggest wire mesh from Homedepot, cut it, paint it black and install it a $20 job
good luck

I dunno where you can get the mesh and stuff, but grab a can of satin black finish aerosol and climb under there and spray everything. Ducts and all.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Have you tried contacting some UK reiger suppliers? I think they should have the mesh in stock.

PS You kinda look PWN3D in this photo..
