BMW:

Jaguar XP has the caps and I see the actual chrome replacements (OEM) on e-bay from time to time

The mesh grills look great! I had trouble getting my stock upper grills out so I had to have the dealer install them. Were you able to install either set yourself? Also can the tow ring on the passenger side of the lower grill be accessed with the lower mesh in place? How hard is the lower piece to take on and off? Your center green caps.. do they merely install with 3M foam tape? I need some for my custom wheels I've ordered.

Thanks, did both on my own in about in hour. On the lower the opening for the tow hook is covered but one the lower is installed all you need to is remove four small screws to remove it. As for the center caps they are direct replacements for the stock units, you simply remove the old ones and snap these into the rim. With you having custom wheels I don't think the stock caps would work, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the reply. I will probably order the lower mesh grill this summer and will have to buy the aftermarket center caps to replace the generic caps on my new wheels.
