    you can make it out of two grills but i managed to find a company that makes them, i dont know if they have any left because they dont make very many
    
    or you go mental and do what i did with my old grill

    oops, that one took about an hour of twisting and bending it to get it to even fit in the hole :/ the chevrons are just put after theyre not integral just bolted on after.

    Easy to make your own, dude. Just cut the slats out leaving the mounting points so you can screw it back on, and mesh behind the bonnet..few hours work and costs less than a tenner with sand paper, primer, paint and lacquer

    all depends on what style you want on your car, i've got dimma because it suits...just gotta look around at different examples and see what suits your taste.
