I wish I could go back and instantly delete any associated with them. For those holding on, here are some fun comments from the FB groups and why I would not expect these grills anytime soon.

2 Days ago he commented to someone that theirs "shipped", 6 weeks ago he told someone it was a 14 day wait and 23 weeks ago he told everyone they were ready to go. I don't know about you, but actions speak louder then words.

I have a feeling if this guy was in North America... he'd be getting a couple of visits from clients... not holding a bottle of champagne...

Don't underestimate the persuasive power of a champagne bottle with the neck cracked off ...

I waited five months in hopes of receiving my order on this P7 style grill. After all the BS I finally initiated my claim to PayPal for a refund. In just 10 days, PayPal responded with a "Case Closed in Your Favor", and they have issued a refund to my credit card. Although I would have preferred the grill eventually arrived, It sure feels good to get out with a refund. I highly recommend the same for anyone that used PayPal for payment.

Add me to the list of those who got a refund from PayPal.
I tried to log onto Vehicle Revolutions website as I have in the past to check on my order when I found that my log in info was no longer valid
I emailed about the order, “inbox full” was what I got back
I messaged Carl, no reply…
I opened up a dispute with PayPal and Low and Behold got an instant response from Vehicle Revolution wanting me to hang on a little longer and to go through them for a refund and leave PayPal out of it
Yeah, right

Curious as to whether anyone has seen any movement on their grille?

Nothing but a bunch of criminals. I have tried to reach out numerous times through every avenue I can think of but have yet to receive either a refund or the item I ordered (and paid for). Vehicle Revolutions should be be held accountable - how are they still in business? If they were near me I would definitely go in and demand a pound of flesh for all of us here that were swindled.

Yeah I tried to get a refund too, but nothing still so I kind of gave up...if it shows up at some point, then great. I stopped reaching out to them too on Facebook, because all I kept hearing was a random day, then the day comes and nothing. So either they have the worst luck ever, they actually have no grills made, or like other said its a scam.

I still want a grill like that though, so now I'm looking at ordering the surround and the E-Pace insert (just need to figure out the parking sensor situation)

They literally have stopped posting on FB, at least Carl has. No idea what happened here, but it sucks for everyone. I know some are past their dispute dates too to try and get a refund from Paypal or Credit Card companies. Really terrible situation.

Yet another thread was started about this on Facebook and someone actually defended Carl by saying "He must not be aware or lost track of time." I pasted up about a dozen of the replies here and magically oof: the thread is gone.

Dang! I must have missed it! It's sad that we've gotten such crap luck with vaporware in the community!

Mounting the parking sensors is moot. They are not made to be recessed back in a p7 grille. That's why they are in the bar up front. You will get alot of false warnings regardless. So i just tucked them behind the bumper as i barely ever need them anyway.

Yup, some rubber vacuum caps over the front of the sensors render them blind. No false positives like Terrance said

OK, this may be a random thought, but... has anyone tried retrofitting the honeycomb mesh from the redesigned (current) F-Type grill to the older models?

Yes, I know someone who tried. It doesn't even come close to fitting.

Correct, the new grille is too tall. If you want one to try and modify and test I've got one in the basement I'll sell ya 😆

Update Vehicle Revolution...
canceled my order and got my money back through paypal...they just can't deliver!
paypal wanted a statement from Vehicle Revolution. But it seems that there was no answer.
hence the prompt refund of the entire amount.
Good luck all with Vehicle Revolution

I am just curious. Did ANYONE ever get a grill from these guys? It has been 3 months since VR, Carl or anyone for that matter has commented on the status. Seems like everyone is just doing chargebacks (and winning if you did it on time), but no proactive work by VR to resolve the issue for anyone. Seems like a horrible customer service experience for everyone involved. As someone who does not have a fond opinion on Carl or VR based on how he dealt with the situation, I am still very surprised they went completely dark.
