Wow, thanks for the comments guys.
We'll see but I suspect it'll be a tad on the pricey side.
The concept was intended as a "one-off" but maybe it'll be easier that we think - although I highly doubt it. I imagine it'll take a few attempts to get the bends right - and the grill cutouts will have to be cut before bending. Perhaps after the 1st one is done it'll get easier.
Guys, I'm really moved by your comments. I made wallpapers of the two renders for anyone who wants them as a token of thanks.
