08 Grille for 04 XJ8

Hi Everyone,

I own a 2004 Vanden Plas and like the grille on the 2008 a lot more. Shocking, I know.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy one for less than the $1,000 the dealership charges, and also if it will fit my car.

Thanks!

This is the '08 grille I think VandenPlasAZ is referring to:

Apologies for the long link. I bought mine from this seller, Ed, andhe was a really pleasant guy to deal with.

It it was fitted in 5 minutes; so easy...

It makes such a difference to the look of the car, really brings it up to date.

I imagine even with shipping to the US, it would still be a lot cheaper than your local***********. Genuine parts too...

That is a good price, but it would cost a fortune to get it to the States. I looked at the boot spoiler and it was going to cost 4x the cost of the spoiler to get it to me.

I agree with higeorge, shippin would cost you a fortune and to be honest the Mina grill looks way better on our jags.

I bought one from Ed in the UK. Expedited air freight to Florida and the growler badge brought the grand total to only 400USD compared to the $1600 the Jag dealer wanted...

Took about 10 minutes to swap out. Here's a pic:

Hi,

I am in contact with Ed as well. I still have not decided whether to buy this 2008 grille. Do you have more photos of your car with new grille to help me make decision? Thank you very much.
