Just a small detail - you need to make sure you put your alpha mask at the "perpendicular" material in the fresnel reflections. Otherwise, you will have a reflection over the whole face. With the diffuse mask, only the diffuse layer will be transparent.
You could also try a normal map or bump map to try and get the reflections going in different directions on the wire.
thanks Andy, I'll have a look into that.
EDIT
Andy,
That worked a treat!!!!
