   Unless yours is broke I wouldn't buy a new one,
   imo deslatting and spraying body coloured is the best bet,
   think there's a guide on how to do it somewhere on here

   £42 inc. postage. I have bought one. Saved me the ball-ache of doing my one.

   Do the mesh behind the grill by cutting out the slatting and replacing with mesh..
   
   Looks DECENT!

   Just finished mine today
   
   
   
   Its not quite as straight forward as it seems, its quite fiddly so you need to be good with your hands, plus you'll need a dremel tool to get rid of the slats, bear that in mind.
   
   Cost in total(for me):
   
   £10 for grille(breakers)
   £15 for mesh(ebay)
   £14 for Grey primer and Satin black paint(halfords) Although its expensive for the paint, you get plenty left over which comes in handy for other jobs
   £1 for adhesive(poundland )
   
   £40.. It may add up, but it looks so much better than standard, and in my opinion, better than the mesh grills you get on ebay.
   
   The reason i didn't buy one off ebay is simple, i wanted to keep the Citroen badges up front.
