EDITED TO ADD SOME GUIDANCE ON PU REMOVAL
Inspired more by a chunky stone-chip based replacement rad bill, than wanting to copy the gen2's (finally) standard fitment, I have added grills to my car.
RECIPE:
Bumper off (lights out is optional)
Make rough cardboard templates
Cut out mesh to size (tin snips)
Form into shape around vent aperture (by hand)
Fix in place with small tie-wraps (cable ties)
OPTIONAL:
Dinitrol 4010 (S) coat rads and a/c heat exchangers, any other metal surfaces that take your fancy!
Cut small (20mm) corner aperture for small dirt/debris to escape from air channels.
£20

I forgot to get close ups or fitted on car (before it went off for its PSE bypass and now it's at the detailers )
Edited: to update Rejel link which had been changed on their website
