To maintain the appearance I am going to put the mesh behind the existing grill if I can find a way to attach it securely and neatly.
I wondered if this might help the aerodynamics a little ?

I've seen many race cars use 13mm hardware cloth ahead of the heat-exchangers.It adds a tiny bit of turbulence(no big deal) and may keep the car in the race,should a leading car kick something up off the track.I'll give it a thumbs-up!Just check it for obstructions during "bug-season".
