I wouldn't use the fiberglass unless you are making a mold an making a completely new grill. Fiberglass doesn't bond to plastic too well. Not to mention you will have a lot more sanding to do to even everything out if you go the fiberglass route.
If you do decide to make a mold in the future you should make it out of carbon fiber.
Also, an easier way to get the mesh to fit in would be to use a dremel and a cutting wheel and cut a deep groove all the way around the inside of the grill. Then you can just fit the mesh in there and use body filler to smooth out the area next to the mesh.
