Berlinetta - Lower grille

Berlinetta - Lower grille
I want to replace the lower grill on my car (camaro Berlinetta 1980) because it has totally fallen apart. Shops offer new one for about 100USD, which seems to much (and is a bit different than what i have).I found the exact one HERE but 300USD. I've got a 3d printer and would like to print it but I can't get the dimensions because the one I have is damaged too much. Is there a documentation or website where I could get drawings of the grille?
Maybe a picture with a scale next to it could be sufficient to get the rough dimensions.

Hitting the flee markets might be your best bet to fine a replacement. Also check out Autodesk 123 catch app for your smart phone. If you are good enough to make models from a picture with a scale in it putting together STL files from broken grill should be a piece of cake. Avoid PLA for anything that is going to see much sun or heat from the motor. Trust me I found out the hard way

In case someone else needs it I have managed to measure and print the lower grille that fits quite nicely.
It's been there for three months and seems that PETG is holding up. If anyone's interested I can provide STL for printing

That is too cool! Awesome job and with the STL anyone with access to a 3D printer can duplicate it. Nice job!

In case anybody else is interested, Dan was kind enough to find and send me the link to the STL files. He said the print he made in PETG has held up fine for 4 years so far. It can be found at https://www.printables.com/model/904...9-lower-grille
