If you are going for the mesh grille..which I also have...you might consider putting on the finishing touch with these B pillar polished stainless trim..

They are super easy to attach..they are fixed with that super strong 3M adhesive..Took me a whole 10 minutes including a few dry runs with alignment checks and cleaning the B pillars with rubbing alcohol before sticking them on

I got both my lower & upper mesh grill from JaguarXp as well. The upper mesh unit was a piece of cake to install, but the lower mesh I had to pay a customer shop to install.

It would have been a pain to cut out the diffuser myself.

Try here mate.........usually got a good selection of Jaguar kit. They sell the upper n lower combo mesh grilles for around £160 I think
I've heard a lot of complaints about the service and delivery from JaguarXP

Just ordered some wheel caps from JaguarXP, I'll fill you in onservice and delivery, when possible.

thinking about those black mesh grilles, not sure if it will look good onBR green Jag, tho. Stainless steel might be more ideal.
