Hi Davidson,

If you can not find the real nice front grill it will be worth to fixed and
keep it until you find a new one.

My front grill typed is for 4 square lights. I fixed broken places with
epoxy putty which available at hardware store. Mixed well the epoxy resin
and hardener and shape as it should be. In some cases, a hard card paper may
be needed as a form work. Epoxy putty will be set within 30 minute and
should be ready for work on within 24 hours. Small files are used for shape
trimming. This should not be applied to where need to be flexible because
epoxy will be so rigid. I used this to fixed broken latch and some lost
vertical small parts. Then paint it in black with a chrominum looked strip
of car sticker.
