So, yeah, got no top grill.

What are issues with stones & bursting radiators etc? Is the grill there for a purposeful reason, or simply to fill a gap? What is the likeliness of a stone hitting the radiator and bursting it etc etc blaa?

not very likely I'd say mate

Although, if you're worried about it pop in your V-grille for a week or so?

You'll be fine mate, the grille isn't exactly a solid piece of plastic, so stones would get through anyway. Granted it would be a bit harder for bigger ones, but smaller things could still get through. It's mostly there to give the engine fan some air, really, so the bumper doesn't have a massive hole in the front of it

That's cool, I'm hoping my grille will come tomorrow, as it's my day off Haven't gotten an "item dispatched" email from LMF though, if they do that when you buy stuff on eBay. My first purchase from them if you hadn't guessed haha.

Sounds like a good idea not putting a new badge on, at least until you finish uni
