metal supplier offer expanded metal in plated that are close to the early 70 style. you'd have to buy a sheet and cut and fit it yourself.

both cars are 1980s. the top grill is the stock 80 grill and the bottom one is a 1968 grill. there is also a hony comb grill and I have seen people use chrome mesh. you can buy it on ebay under automotive just type in mesh.

I have seen a Black car with a mesh grill. I think it was on ebay a couple years ago. looked retty good. they sell bulk mesh on ebay. its only about $50 or less for the amount you need. already chrome.

She was originally a '76 CS1. But has the later bonnet and an Aus/Euro spec 2-litre, twin carb engine.
