Mark, I don't see it as necessary to completely remodel the grilles. Just select by smoothing group and delete the rest . . . ;)
Yeah, I had them grouped mate, and when I unified them and made them one mesh I did not, remove the groups before it was unified, either way... after many painful hours they have been rebuilt, and thanks to your suggestions and positive comments that kept me motivated she is now sitting at 8.7k polies entirely unified and 100%.
Im not building them again
