The previous owner has removed the S emblem on the radiator grille. I would like to put this emblem there again. How is this done?

 

You need from https://www.jaguarlandroverrenoparts...number=t2r2837:

To install these you will need to remove the front bumper skin to get access to the back of the grill. Not difficult, but you'll need 2 people to make certain you don't scratch anything pulling it off.

 

EBay had the S emblem with a holder that was secured with a wingnut. Once the holder was secured, the emblem just stuck on.

 

But the bumper skin has to be removed anyway? Or is there a bagde which can be simply clicked on?

 

The grille badge is stuck onto the mounting plate with the same adhesive that is used to stick other lettering and badges on (eg F-Type lettering and the S or R badge on the rear).
So it depends on whether you still have the mounting plate in place or not, if still in place you just need the badge and you simply "peel and stick", if not then you need the whole kit and caboodle as linked to by unhingd above - parts 14, 16, 17 and 18.

 

This is slightly different as it has nuts but you could substitute a wingnut.

 

Or else you could do what I did to stick an "R" badge on the grille of my old XFR (2010 model so it didn't come with the badge from the factory):

1. Buy an S badge like that linked above.
2. Get a tube of black RTV silicone sealant, preferably windscreen sealant
3. Decide where you want the badge to be
4. Fill that one hole in the grille mesh with sealant, leaving it a little proud of the surface (the sealant is thick enough not to run out the back of the hole)
5. Put a small dob of sealant on the back of the badge
6. Press the badge into place, and hold for about two minutes, making sure it is straight
7. Clean up any excess with a soft cloth soaked in mineral turps before the sealant cures/sets

This worked a charm for me and the badge never budged a micron.

 

I did similar with my XKR, though it took a few false starts with glue before I used silcone.
