The top 2 are 10mm bolts, I believe the bottom ones are 30 torx.

2004 and up grills will NOT fit on the earlier S-types.

They're there, just fell behind the grill with your hand and you'll get there.

They are behind the "tray" that comes below your grille, if you look at your grille, and then look down you see a plack plastic cover peice, now if you go behind it, towards the bumper, you will see 2 bolts.

whatever you do, don't get the grille mesh INSERT! you will break those clips and will have to replace the grille. Its a waste of money. Just buy the whole grille. 99 percent of the time those clips break when removing the chrome surround.
FALSE... i had no proble doing the insert at all.. I mean come on man I;m 16 and I did it myself.. It's not hard at all and turned out AWESOME.. I mean I take it up to get my oil change done at a jag dealer, and they are like " where did you get that awesome grille"

Cutting the bars out is pretty tricky, but past that. it's a peice of cake... I also painted the place where I cut the bats, so you can't see it.,,, it's awesome.. get the insert... it's cheaper and very very nice.

Besides ebay or junk yards, is there any company that sells aftermarket replacements? I assume a dealer would charge $500+ for OEM or am I wrong?

There are also quite a few sellers offering them on eBay for a little under $300. They're OEM pieces (or so they say...) I got one and it's exactly like the piece I removed so it seems legit. Looks awesome.

Only problem I have with those Ebay grilles is that they don't have the Jaguar emblem. Some one correct me if Im wrong? I guess they really can't sell the grilles with emblems, as that would be some sort of copy right violation?
