Hi mate,
I have used a temporary grille held by hot glue until I can source a mesh I like.
I will then attach some plastic or metal clips with Sikaflex etc so I can replace the mesh without replacing the sealant/glue.
As for the surround itself, I had to heat it with a paint strip gun to make it line up with the headlights and bonnet 100%.
I used stick on Velcro to attach to the top of the bumper instead of the Tickford fitted rivets.
