I have to say I haven't got any great interest in replacing my grille but have been intrigued by this thread since it started. Anyway, out of curiosity I actually went into the local Bentley showroom this lunchtime to see why it should be so difficult to make a Crossfire version of a Bentley grille. When I asked if could take some pictures of the grilles I think they must have thought I was some sort of strange grille fetishist and just let me get on with it!
As you can see they are not really mesh at all. But irrespective of what type of 'mesh' is used, I don't see why a Crossfire version could not be fabricated with the same type of polished metal surround, apart from the tooling costs that is.
