call the wrekers around Brisbane and try to get a series 2 bonnet in the same colour as your car. If you can you'll save a few hundred. The Grille isn't a factory item, its a series 2 forte item tjats been chromed and the only place I've seen them for sale is ebay

Just a thought, you could go an eggcrate grill like whats on the utes and the classic models, I've got one on my classic and haven't got any issues with it.
Anything would be better than the waterfall though eh....
