I can answer your question. I ordered the Irmscher grille for the Holden Cruze (I think it's for the SRI-V edition) for my Asian Cruze manufactured in the GM Daewoo factory in South Korea. Cut the horizontal bar across my stock bumper to fit the Cruze. Unfortunately, it turns out the Holden grille is slightly shorter; it's not noticeable from the pictures or even if you visually compare the two, but when you try to put it in there's a gap at the bottom of the grille as it's smaller than the Chevy Cruze grille. I'm going to bring it to a bodykit shop to customize the bumper to fill in the gap.
 
Yeah, the grille size is slightly different for the Holden Cruze. You might have better luck getting something from the Daewoo Cruze (J300 / Lacetti Premiere); however, while the size and shape is going to be more similar to the other Chevy Cruzes, the mountings may be different and the shape may still be slightly different, so you'll have to take the risk of customizing it still.

In my case, I liked the Irmscher grille design for the Holden Cruze; there's a similar rip-off design from China for the Cruze manufactured in GM's Shanghai factory but it didn't look as nice or as well-manufactured. That said, if I had realized the Holden Cruze grille shape and size was different I might have gone that route instead to save me the trouble.
