That's a good suggestion. I hear good things of Autodesk 123D. 123D catch is the photogrammetry app.

Or see if there's a company local to you who has a Faro hand scanner to make a point cloud.

Hi. This is my cheap option of fog light grills. Cost me £6 for mesh.
May be not the best option, but at least covers a bit that holes

iGo, you have done a neat job similar to something I tried to do a few years back. Yours looks a lot better than my attempt!

Cardboard tamplate first and after you cut form, fine adjustment with snips. Everything safely fixed with cable ties

Liking that I've been contemplating something very similar so your results are pretty encouraging

There is currently a FL pair on ebay for £70 which is not bad considering the prices quoted on the OP

Tempted to buy those as spares. That is a good price.

I think any D2 '8 owners in the Rotherham area should go out and check to see if their grilles are missing

That's the starting price in an auction, not a BIN!
