Default lovin' my jag - installed the mesh grill

I doubt there is too much interest as this is a common add on, but got my mesh grill today and despite having a tooth pulled and my mouth feeling like they used a jack hammer, I had to get it on.

looks great, I actually bought my mesh grill before I got the car as I knew that I did not like the original grill, put it on the day after I collected the car , but that was just over 7 years ago now.

Looks good. I have the Adamesh stainless steel mesh grill, which has slightly wider spaces between the wires. Much better than the stock grill.

Looks great - just fitted one myself, and I'm very happy with it

Has anyone got a goldish mesh grill as opposed to the shining steel look version? I somehow want to paint mine in light gold colour to contrast the body work's slate paint finish.

Anyone with a goldish mesh grill to show us how it looks?

The other alternative could be the charcoalish dark colour. It could bring out the lights.

donberry, It looks clean and like it belongs. Very nice job, and it complements the color and lines of your Jaguar.
Thank you for sharing.

I bought mine with both the grill and lower valance mesh added and it really makes it stand out in my opinion. Previous owner did a lot of subtle additions and why I'm keeping this one for the long haul.
