Here are some pics of the new grill I fitted to my car....
The grill came from the dealer and was dismantled into its seperate parts (8 philips screws and 3 torx screws)...

The badge came seperately...

Next the grill surround went into the bodyshop to be painted the same colour as the car from a colour chip to get a better match than the paint code on the vehicle plate.....

....They used the expensive lacquer (by mistake :wink: )

Next the old dated vaned grill was removed its held on by 4 small bolts..

The old and the new side by side...

The new grill was then fitted....

Old and new:-

Hey Buck............sorry mate, doesn''t do it for me. Don''t think it matches the style of the car as well as it does on the XF...............The mesh inserts on the existing grille look better IMO

PS.....If you do get that lawnmower Buck, mines worse than yours, maybe you could do mine too?..lol

My 12 year old could fit it.Just 4 bolts to remove/refit.Make sure they go back in the same place though to avoid hig spotting the bonnet I heard.
