For $1,400 you could probably get one CNC milled (or at the very last laser cut) to your exact specifications..... and have something REALLY unique.

I made my own by just buying some stainless mesh with the greatest airflow /strength, and bent and sikaflexed it into a grille I bought second hand.
Looks much like the Saudi grille and AFAIK gives good airflow.
One day I will do the grille under the bumper.
BTW, I reckon it looks pretty flimsy and wonder how it would go with a bird strike, but I guess it is a balance between strength and airflow.
My total cost was AFAIR about $120 for 2 metres of mesh and $80 for a SH grille, and a can of pressure pack touch up at $20. If you used your own grille it would be cheaper.
I have plenty of mesh left to make another one.
I posted pics at the time. It has had no problems with its construction.

Can you be specific re what mesh you used / where you got it?
I'm considering making up a custom grille for my Defender and haven't been able to find anything appropriate.

OK I did a bit of digging.Can you be specific re what mesh you used / where you got it?
The supplier was EZImetal(ezimetal.com.au)
14 Motto lane Heatherbrae
02 49874210
email contact@ezimetal.com.au
The product was
Stainless 304 woven wire
Aperture 5.6mm
wire diameter-0.9mm
width-1525MM
qty1metre.
it cost $114.50 including $25 freight
I chose that as it had a void ratio near 70% which was one of the largest available, although the Land Rover stuff seems to have more void.
For a Defender you may not need the wide stuff.
