Any suggestions for a nice aftermarket mesh grille to fit a 04 XJ8? I've seen a few on E-bay and and I believe Jaguar XP offers one, although I cannot find it on their web-page, but I'd like to
see if anyone has any specific recommedations. Some pic's would be nice as well

Not many places out there for our XJ's but you are correct Jaguar XP is one and the other is EuroToys
Check out the links below, they have your mesh grills and some other goodies..

I ordered mine from XP and am very pleased with the quality and the way they fit on my 04 XJ8.

So did you decide to order the Jaguar XP grills or will you go with another kind?

I ordered the jaguar XP upper and lower on Friday, yours looked real good I went that route.

Thanks

I've been curious about how the lower mesh grill would look on the XJ. Post some pix after you get yours installed. I plan to add chrome mirror covers this spring as well.

Yes, I plan to add the chrome mirrors and also whees. By the way, does anyone have any experience with the chrome covers versus the replacement chrome caps? The covers are only half as expensive as the replacement chrome. I've wondered whether the cheaper covers still looked decent and would be a good value for the money. Any input?
