I have no idea about the quality and look of vinyl  plates but like ashjjstar has done sounds like a good way to go - smooth grille with embossed aluminum plates stuck on with halfords double sided tape -  without a plinth...

Digging up the thread, my halfords stickie pads failed and the plate started to fall off so plate went back in the windscren for a few weeks but then got pissed off with it rattling about so went for a magnetic setup. Great for quickly pulling the plate off for pics/meets etc yet staying legal.

Glad I found this thread as I'm having my grill smoothed in a couple of weeks and was thinking of trying the magnets etc. I've now decided to just have an adhesive sticker type one now. IMO it should still look smooth and better than before.
