Default grill mesh

where can you buy big grill mesh in Perth?
I'm chasing fairly big mesh as I have spotties and don't want the mesh to block too much light.
The stuff at Supercheap is too small

Epic thread revival, but I'm changing a lot of things on my car, and want to know if the meshy type thing on ISPYSTI's grill is actually the standard for 03-04 STI? If not, where can I get something similar, or if it is standard, what options are there for GC8 in the same style. Not the best photo, I know.

For those who don't remember/don't know the car;

I ended up going to supershit auto and buying a sheet of black grill mesh for $20.

You will need to butcher the oem grill and cut it all out.

Cut the mesh to size and I bent a small lip to keep it in place and a fair bit of hot glue.

Then mount the WRX or STI badge to suit.

I've had mesh on my car since the previous owner (8 odd years), and always intended to piss it off, but never got around to it, but basically the butchering has already been done. It has the SCA style mesh, which is that diamond, overlapping, something or other, and I've never liked the look, so trying not to go for that option. Just trying to go with something to suit Papa's new shoes.

EDIT: Is the grill on the ~04 STI a metal insert or plastic of some sorts?
