I made mine by bending and soldering 1/8" brass rod. Really easy to do. I hope my attachment comes through, Russ

I did mine by finding a picture of a Caterham grill, blowing it up and printing it off, and bending an old coat hanger... easy enough to bend, but a
bit thin, and difficult to join up at the end.
Here's how it looked... before peeling paint and rust forced me to take the grill off

I'm sure people have been cautioned for copyright breach regarding this...

hellfires right i think caterham have a sense of humour failure if you use their number 
i think its more aimed at manufacturers though

How can you copyright a number ? As long as the design is slightly different I don't see a problem!

I think that you can use any trademark on a privately owned car aslong as it is not to defraud, say when you sell it.
Manufacturers are a different matter.

Or you could fork out £35.25 (presumably + VAT and P&P) to Caterham for a "real" one
