Nope, but I should have.
I would have gone smaller 1/8" at the most, but made it so you can take it out easily for cleaning.

People have take the plastic grill out and put in mesh. First person I can think of from the top of my head is Trips.

If you do it, watch your temps closely. On my C-Class, everyone started putting mesh in front of the intercooler becasue of the huge gaps in the main grill. And everyone started over heating. The engineers make the openings for airflow as small as they can and when you start taking away even 10% or 15% of it, it makes a difference.
