I had that problem with my TR3A (which I assume is what you are talking
about).  My fault, really, as I didn't give the body shop any measurements
for the grille opening after some kind person backed into me in a parking
lot and didn't even leave a note.

But the grille was fairly soft, easy to bend by hand, and IMO didn't look
too bad with a significant curve bent into it.

Here's a shot where you can kind of see the curve:

After bending the center enough to fit into the opening, I used some love
taps with a body hammer to work the rolled edge back down against the body.
