I glued 4 bits of wood with sikaflex to the back of the nose cone, then used 4 screws and penny washers to fix the grill.

Is your car on the road ? if so do you have over heating problems ?
The reason i ask is i know 2 people that had problems with over heating they had mesh / grills like yours and as soon as they removed it the problem
went away

I had an expanded aluminium mesh (smaller mesh than shown in the picture) and my car would overheat in traffic queues. I now have a very open-weave
mesh (woven stainless wire) and the problem's mostly gone away.

I cut mine so it fitted in front, then wrapped the outside with U section rubber and cable tied in place.
