My car has a stainless steel grill, with what look like welds holding the bars to the upper and lower frames.
Welding has advances massively in recent years. I broke my glasses across the bridge: titanium wire 1.5mm diameter so I assumed they were scrap but no, laser MIG welding fixed the problem for £40.00. The repair is virtually invisible. I looked up LASER welding... quite amazing,, tightly focussed high energy laser light and a gas blanket mean it is possible to weld any metal, however small, without heat creep and distortion. I'll bet the kit is expensive...
