Lets wait for quil to photoshop it on your color car! I for one, like it quite a bit, but it might look better if it were silver/chrome!

 

Not a mesh fan sorry lol .However the lower end looks cool

 

Seems about expensive as the dealer.Get a price from the dealer and demand a discount.Tell them youre either in the trade, its for a car thats over 3 years old (if the dealer is part of the alliegence program) or youre a member of the Jaguar EnthusiastsClub.
If youre not I canPM you my JEC member number if they need it for the discount.

 

d'you reckon Buck?
Last time I asked the dealer that question they were talkin around £280 the pair!
I'll try again tomorrw and go down the 4 year old car Jaguar allegiance route and see what they say.

Cheers

Jim

 

That seems really high for after market. Can't even $79 USD for the top over here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jagua...spagenameZWDVW

Nobody's bidding!

 

Called Taggarts of Glasgow re mesh grilles - see below

Upper Mesh grille c/w surround £134.00 + vat = £157.45 Dealer
Lower Mesh insert£135.00 + vat = £158.62 Dealer
Total= £316.07 Dealer
Upper mesh less 10 % £120.60 + vat = £141.70 Dealer
Lower mesh less 10% £121.50 + vat = £142.76 Dealer
Total = £284.46Dealer


Upper meshas part of combo pack}
£160.00 Total Adamesh
Lower meshas part of combo pack}

Jaguar dealer was more expensive by £156.07, even after 10% discount they were still £124.46 more!
I've had parts ( rear parking sensors ) from Adamesh before and they work fine, arrived quickly and were the cheapest option available.
I think if n when I go for it Adamesh will be the way to go for me.

Jim

 

Jim the Adamesh grill combo is black!
What about the XP kit much cheaper (£137 ish) and you can opt for either a polished stainless steel fiinish or a black finishbut you will need to find stainless bolts to fit as they dont come with stainless bolts from what I have read.
If I updated mine I would go with polished stainless.

 

This ebayer has £60 upper grilles that appear on his auctions from time to time:-

Thanks Buck, much appreciated as always mate.
It is the black I'm after though mate as I'm not a fan of the chrome and with the Sport being de chromed I dont think it'd look good, not for me anyway.
I'm still at the shopping around stage anyways and have to repaint my calipers yet, also have the leather dye comming too so that I can freshen up the interior a little too ( there's some light scuffing on the drivers bolster - common problem! ) as well as shopping for rims as well to replace the kerbed one / two and replace the space saver as well. So, got a lot goin on with the X at the minute!

Cheers Buck

Jim

 

Yeah I'm with you Jim...black is better for our sports...I think anyways...actually they'd all look good either way...hey jim try and find some pics of your color jag with a mesh grill and I'll make it black so you can see jim...if you wanted...

Need to get off my rump roast and make some for myself...can't find time for much of anything...add on top of that basketball league starts in a couple of weeks...man I'm screwed! Not to mention the low tonight is supposed to be 30 degrees fahrenheit![][][]

High today was like low 60s!

 

Here's what my Sport will look like with the black mesh grille upper n lower


Couldn't find one with the chrome mesh Aquill.........so maybe you could do ya photoshop thang and let us see?
I still think black will win ........but lets see what everyone else thinks?

Jim

 

The grill you posted looks like there is nothing behind it lol

 

What you talkin bout Caddie?
There's a whole X type behind it!...lol

Jim

 

LOL, I mean it seems there is no grill inserts just the frame

 

Thats the way its supposed to look.....lol
I think its suits the Sport much better than chrome.
Although for sure different coloured cars carry it off better than others...........red for example or maybe white, and certainly black for than really mean look.

Dear mod, this is for the XJ40 but at least it may give you an idea lol

 

Thanks Caddie.........it does look nice
just not on my X I dont think. I dont have any chrome on it so it would look outta place.

Cheers bro

Jim

 

Youre welcome .You're right if you don't have chromes on your car then it may look it doesn't belong on your car lol

 

I dont have chrome either but think the chrome mesh is the way to go even on the sport models which is why perhaps its standard on new X Types now or soon.
It doesnt matter that there isnt chrome anywhere else I dont think.
Black looks like something is missing.
The chrome looks £££s which is perhaps why Jag are going to fit it as standard...perhaps from surverying customers opinions I would presume?
