Slap a POST 97 front bumper on there 
well done sherlock 
we all know that, but can't figure out why the grille looks too big compared to other debadged grilles on pre 97 bumpers.
ask marklawton as he done it to his smokey

unless your car's has a new slam panel fitted at some point.

Exactlyy to me it lookslike the slam panels bent in the middle
the slam panel top is meant to be dead straight but it looks bent?

You can see its bent in that pic, its not meant to slope.
heres a new one.
You can see the holes it fits to and that it doesnt slope.
and theres no diffrencie n slam panels from 93 - 00,only diffrence like i said earlier is pre 97 the vin plate is on the slam panel and the post 97 the vin numbers on a sticker on the drivers door shut.

Cheers Phil but that still doesnt answer why the grille is longer than the gap in the bumper

Maybe the panel is actually bent and because of this it is pulling the bits where the bumper screws on inwards, making the gap smaller.
This is my actual slam panel:
I took that pic especially so you better enjoy it
