MG Midget and Sprite General - Anyone have a Bugeye grille fs?

Looking for a Bugeye grille, trying to avoid paying nearly $350 to get one shipped from AH Spares.
Ideas?
Have one or know where one is for sale?
I'd like a nice looking grille but doesn't have to be perfect as I don't have any trailer queens.

Midget Mania has them in their catalog, but they're expensive at over $500 for a stainless version and over $400 for the chrome. They say it's a special order piece, they're probalby just reselling the Austin Healey Spares part.

AH Spares has two choices, one that sounds like it's simply chrome plated and the other slightly more expensive says it's triple plated.
The triple plated would be about $350 US shipped to me, that's $72 for shipping and $272 for the piece. Plus there will be a bit for incidentals like fluctuating exchange rate etc.

Buying it from AH Spares -

Hopefully it will be delivered before I leave for the US Midget 50th on July 15.
