Tom,
I had the same problem with the new grill that I bought for my TR3.
Coincidentally I was trying to assemble my car in time for Triumphest also!
I found that after very carefully bending the grill here and there, I was
able to get it to fit. After covering the "outside edges" of the grill with
a couple of layers of thin masking tape to protect the new paint and with a
lot of patience, I bent it mostly by hand but also using a wide-blade type
Vice-Grip pliers. I also prefit it with out the bumper and the overider
supports installed. Then when it fit really close, I removed the masking
tape and installed the bumper, the overiders and the grill. It looks really
great now, but getting it to fit was a BITCH!!
As always, YMMV and good luck,
Jim Bauder

I am headed to Triumphest this wwekend. I discovered last night that
the new grill I have from TRF will not fit my car. Mine has prior front
apron damage.
If anyone is interested in purchasing it I can meet you at Triumphest.
