Hi

ich bin neu hier und weiss leider nicht wie ich Dir privat schreiben kann. Ich würde auch gerne den P7 Grill montieren aber habe leider keinen Überblick mehr was ich alles dazu brauche. Kannst Du mir vielleicht sagen, was ich alles kaufen muss, damit ich den Grill montieren kann?

Vielen lieben Dank.

Gruss Gary

 

You'll get more responses in English.

To answer your question, Getting a hold of a P7 grill is an involved process. You have to have a VIN from an actual P7 to order the parts.

 

Hi

Sorry, I just found out he's from germany so I asked in german. Yes, I was curious which parts I exactly need. I ordered the Grill from PP but that's a disaster!
So have you got a VIN from a P7? What else do I need?

 

 

How much is everyone paying for the OEM P7 grille setup? I got quoted over $900 for the P7 grille + the surrounding trim piece.

Also, anyone have any experience with the carbon fiber knockoffs from China/eBay?

For a front grille quite a bit, but I find the result very great!

A good news still for those interested in the 3D adapter. These are now ready and I have this with me. More about pm.

 

I was quoted a bit over $900 from a dealer in Northern California.

 

 

Nice ^^

I'm assuming you fiberglassed the center pieces? Would like killer if you painted the mesh gloss black and paint matched the grille outer.

 

wow... that is EXACTLY what I have been planning on doing. Looks Great!
Below is a render I did a while back
I am going to need to pick your brain on some detail on this. Any plans on replacing the sensors?

 

First of all, I would like to inform you that it is a successful job.

For my taste, however, the honeycombs would be too close to each other.
I would also make the grid black.
For me, the original P7 grill looks more consistent.

Could you mount the front sensors on this grill? I do not see any in the pictures.

 

 

Looks fine, but it's not evocative of the XKE, which I thought was the inspiration for the F-Type. More evocative of the current XF if anything. My comment is just my opinion, of course, and isn't meant to be derogatory. I don't seek approval of what I do to my cars but I don't mind observations from others.

 

bryklug2001,
I think it looks great.
It makes the car more individual, removes that ugly crossbar, and follows the tradition of Jaguars.
Mesh grills have been on many higher-performance Jaguars for many years.
The grill area looks larger and more akin to an exotic. I also like the chrome mesh in the side vents, as a contrast against the dark color (I would do these in black if the car was red or light blue).

Kudos to you

 

Finally did it! Thanks to @Meister_Kajo for the Adapters from the 3D printer! Also did the SVR hood vents and some paint jobs from white to black...

 

Ah! I want to do this so bad - I also have a white R - it looks awesome with the P7 grille. What was your source?

 

A guy from the facebook group got me a P7 VIN and my friend who works at Jaguar Switzerland, ordered me the grill... It was hard to get a P7 VIN and the grill isn't cheap either (around 1000 swiss francs) but it's totally worth it! Front end looks so much cleaner now.

 

I'm hitting the same issue with needing a P7 vin number. Does anyone have one they could share? It would be greatly appreciated
