Default Project 7 grill resources?

I searched but could not find a P7 grill thread. I did find pictures and discussions but not a "How To".
My understanding is you need a P7 VIN to order the parts from a dealer?

I think someone is selling the P7 Grill in the classifieds.

I'm not sure that a P7 VIN will help you now. I think JLR got wise to the fact that people were using other VINs to get them. In fact, I'm not even sure you could get one if you really owned a P7 at this time. I tried to get the brace that goes behind the grille (P7 tow hook is in a different location) and three separate places took the order but then said it was on indefinite backorder.

This company and new product looks very promising for those looking. If I did not already have a P7 Grill, I would definitely try one. Quality looks good and price as well. Also has the sensor holders built in. I think they are, or will be available shortly.

I have no affiliation with any of these people...Just sharing to help others.

EDIT: Appears the site won't allow my link to the Facebook post with the info. Maybe Copy and Paste this "https://www.facebook.com/VehicleRevolution/posts/3002157063406043" ?

of course DC comes in with a great resource once again. I looked at their page and they also have a SVR front bumper upgrade and SVR rear valence coming (not that it concerns you as you have the OEM). I held off just because I can’t spend $1000 plus shipping on it

Indeed but they need a carbon fiber surround option.

They don’t offer a carbon option that I could see and some forum members have shown close ups and the grill does not look finished or close to factory.

Agreed. The photos I have seen of the Paramount item(s) is very wavy and rough at best. Requires lots of prep and fiddling to even get it close to fitting.

This required quite a bit of fabrication as well, but the factory grill looks smooth - although I would have liked the factory retainer for the sensors. Pardon the unfinished look, the koshi center splitter and spars are on the workbench; just haven’t had time to get it all fitted.

$590.28 US dollar plus shipping

Not bad, pretty much half price of a OEM p7 grill

Placed my order earlier this morning, I've been going back and forth with them for about 2 months and they definitely put a lot of work into it.
Once it comes in I'll look into getting it installed (not sure if I'm going to do it myself or bring it somewhere to get done)

I’m probably in the minority but I actually want a chrome surround. Or the original satin silver.
