P 7 Bumper-less Grille Installed
#261
The "bumper bar", is simply a plastic trim piece, there is no metal bar protecting the front grille as one might have imagined. If it served any meaningful purpose I might have thought twice about replacing the grille for the P7 version.
I am still waiting to fit my grille just waiting a while on the best option for refitting the two front "bumper bar" PDS sensors. I really want to create a factory finish as opposed to a home made look.
l have even been thinking about fitting them in the bodywork next to the edges of the grille. A 16mm hole in the paintwork and then held in place with an original sensor clip holder on the inside.

I concur. Can't think of any scenario where not having the bumper bar is going to affect resale value in a negative way, except one... the seller makes the bonehead mistake of pointing out the absence of a front bumper.
Without the seller making a federal case out of it, I would think the one-piece P7 grille would improve value of any F-Type, though marginally so.

My own stoh n sho solution
A sheet of aluminum bent and varnished in black.
The number plate is fastened with Velcro.
The shield is fixed with the screw of the front lip. So I do not need to drill.
My friend with the 3D printer has given the order. The creation of the adapters can take a few more days ...

The adapters I have now varnished.
The new adapters fit perfectly. They are already very firm by simply pressing them. For safety, I've ever taken a drop of glue.
Above is about 1mm still open, but it is too difficult to fill the honeycomb completely, since this does not have straight forms.
Behind the grill everything is black and so you will not see this small gap.
I have normal sensors, as well as angle sensors, since I do not know exactly which my Jaguar dealers want to use. The cables can be laid invisibly.
I have an appointment for assembly on Wednesday and will report immediately afterwards.
If you need an adapter, please pm to me. It can take a while, however, since the 3D man is on vacation.
