I just used some home weather stripping foam of the right size. It's peel and stick.

Re: Radiator OEM top foam
Found some really good "sticky" stuff - so no need to glue/tape into place.
Just had to buy 2 meters of the stuff (only actually required 700mm). I have been running around with this for a few days now & not an issue. I undid the top mounts (metal with rubber insets) as seen in the first photo, then held radiator back (by using small piece of wood) - so it was approx 5mm from normal position. Then slid in the foam, released the wood and then returned the mounts. Job only took 5 minutes.

Your car looks like it's new. It must be nice to live in such a pleasant climate.

Re: Radiator OEM top foam
That looks good.
For those of us in the US. This is what I got from Amazon. Its less than $3 dollars and worked well for me. I also undid the upper mounts to get a better fit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...rch_detailpage
