Has anyone put one of these in an older S type? They say just 4 bolts, I can find only 2 bolts. I imagine there are 2 more hidden under other parts that have to be removed.

The top 2 are 10mm bolts, I believe the bottom ones are 30 torx.
2004 and up grills will NOT fit on the earlier S-types.

JaguarXP has 2005 look grills that fit the 99 and up S Types. I just need to locate the two lower bolts. Dan

They're there, just fell behind the grill with your hand and you'll get there.

They are behind the "tray" that comes below your grille, if you look at your grille, and then look down you see a plack plastic cover peice, now if you go behind it, towards the bumper, you will see 2 bolts.

whatever you do, don't get the grille mesh INSERT! you will break those clips and will have to replace the grille. Its a waste of money. Just buy the whole grille. 99 percent of the time those clips break when removing the chrome surround.

FALSE... i had no proble doing the insert at all.. I mean come on man I;m 16 and I did it myself.. It's not hard at all and turned out AWESOME.. I mean I take it up to get my oil change done at a jag dealer, and they are like " where did you get that awesome grille"
Cutting the bars out is pretty tricky, but past that. it's a peice of cake... I also painted the place where I cut the bats, so you can't see it.,,, it's awesome.. get the insert... it's cheaper and very very nice.

Iam going to have call you out and say bs, those clips always break and you either used glue or some other means to keep them in place. Those clips break and are very fragile. I have this insert and the lower grille on my jag also. I think its a total hack job on how they want you to install this mesh grille. For a jaguar that is suppose to be pimp car, its a half ass way installing this insert. And cutting the grille section out is not tricky at all so i know you didn't do this yourself without someone holding your hand. Its the easiest part of the whole job. The hardest part is lining up the mesh and trying NOT to break those clips when removing the chrome surround. I have several freinds at crown jag that customers wanted this installed. I work right down the street at a honda dealership in florida. Nice try.
My advise it spend the extra 100 and get the assembly. I don't know about you but but iam no hack, my shit looks tight and done right.
