Hmmm looks quite fetching (on a small pcture). It might look really shonky up close though.

Yep, I reckon he really has been busy with his drill.
The grille is described as:-
'modified genuine Land Rover part - hand finished'
I bet he drills then overpaints in Silver
Isn't the D3 one flush? Dark and cold outside and can't be bothered to go and have a lookI know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Surley he won't be using a hashed up RRS and D3 grille ???
Two grills .... and yet he's only charging £60 ???

note: the rrs has more tapered ends, and a different 'drill' patern

I agree, and those holes don't look like they're following a straight line either...Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Even my chicken fence is straighter than that!
what are the holes at the bottom end of each corner for?
Is that where the chicken feed goes?
A right turkey if ever I saw one.
There aint nuthin wrong with the standard one!

I thought it was from where an A-bar was fitted, as you can see 2 at the other side, although I like your version better
