You don't need to make anything fit unless you really want the grill to mirror the Prefect appearence, you can get the plastic insert chromed, I have two firms in my town that do this, one actually did a lot of the plastic work for Rover...obviously they are still waiting to be paid :lol:
You can also get a 'gold' finish as it is all electroplating :wink:
