How wide is it? Could it be of a comercial vehicle?

Don't know I'm afraid. Looks almost American to me.

Maybe because US market specs had such grilles with a double pair of square lights and indicators underneath. Volvos, Passat b2s, etc. But their middle parts would look different. That's why I was thinking of comercial vehicles, which I am not really familiar with tbh.  |

I've cross posted to the RADwood facebook page, see if any of those cool cats can ID it.

My initial thought was early 80s Subaru as they had quad square headlights, but it wasn't that. Then I thought AMC Eagle 4x4, but also nope.
Might be an 80s aftermarket grille made by someone like Kat or Zender?

On a second look it's similar (but not identical) to a Taifun style grille for an E21 or E30 BMW. Perhaps it's a copy/ version to fit a different car?  |

It looks a bit Audi 80 B2 in general proportions, nearest I can find is this which isn't an exact match but has some similarities. Someone better at finding out stuff might be able to sleuth their way to a more positive ID from it. |

That's pretty close, vulgalour! Respect! What keeps me from thinking it is a stock car part is the middle part. I can't remember any car with a grille that is interrupted with such a closed middle part. I think it is covered with some emblem, clipped into the two small holes left and right? But what emblem? The MAN truck lion? But the whole grille isn't wide enough for a big truck, that's why I was more thinking of a light commercial vehicle.  |

Not exactly the same, the indicators are in the bumper, but the middle is similar, if you squint, and spray brake fluid in your eyes, and maybe clean them out with some wire wool.  *Edit* I see someone's suggested BMW already. |

There should be a part number in the mould no? Small serial number on the inside you could Google with front grille after it?

I seen the 2 bits cut out the bottom and thought that’s for the ends of the chassis legs for a big crashbar/bullbars to be fitted so pickup maybe? The sr5 Toyota and hardbody Nissan have square front ends

Bits chopped out for something like this to be fitted over it maybe?  |

doesn't look like it (and I have a 720!) 720 has corner repeaters and indicators in bumper not grille as per pic you posted.
