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

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
