I don't think you will find an answer, from 2002/2003 the bonnet release was modified and comes out above the grille. It is these cars that have had meshed grilles or chromed slats done.

Unless of course someone post to say yes they have done it but I can't remember seeing such a post. :shrug:

The newer type bonnet opening assy is a bolt on mod so that you no longer have the lever poking through the grill ;)
