I broke another small piece of mesh off today while washing the car - dang!
One thought I had about fixing it is to remove the old clip on grill inserts and cut off the old mesh part with a dremel - leaving the clip-on frames. Then add new alloy expanded mesh to the OEM clip-on frames. Viola! 
Not sure how to attach the mesh yet...  |
could you just roll the mess over the edge in a few spots and then it would be a friction fit with the bumper/grill interface? I suppose some epoxy may also work, if it works w/plastic and metal (rough the surfaces up to give some teeth for the adhesive to adhere to).
