Just for completeness I'll post this here too.
Since the bird flew through my lower grille I've had a couple of goes at the front grille.
First attempt I pulled off my front bumper and ran wire mesh through the upper and lower grille to stop any insects making a mess of the intercooler and a/c condenser.
I left the broken lower grille in and just ran the wire mesh over the top of the busted section. Worked OK but you could still see the broken part if you looked closely.
So I decided to install some aluminium mesh into my grille instead of the "old" fly screen. Hopefully this will provide better air flow and still keep out the larger bugs.
Added some plasti-dip and re-installed to give the final result:
