Never done it myself but if you.cut it bigger so it folds over the lip amd use some epoxy
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Got sum aluminium mesh ?
What i would do is make a frame and make the holes in the same place as the original and clip the mesh to that
If it ain't green and black send it back

If ya want to do the grill only ya can take it off with the bumper staying on the car but to take the bumper of there are one either side, two under the bonnet and four under the bumper

For top buy a meshed grill and get it chromed or polish the sh*t out out till it looks chromed,seen diy top grills and they always look poo tbh they never look right
And bottom just glue the mesh on with tiger seal or somthing similar
