Thanks!
I've got a waterfall design grille (the earlier chrome one) that you can have if you like but it has three small screwholes in it around the edges from where it was screwed in to my bonnet after the same thing happened! I replaced it with an eggcrate style grille from a scrapper and held the bolts in place with 2k Plexus branded adhesive (seriously good stuff). Can then attach the nuts as normal.
