Any suggestions for a nice aftermarket mesh grille to fit a 04 XJ8? I've seen a few on E-bay and and I believe Jaguar XP offers one, although I cannot find it on their web-page, but I'd like to
see if anyone has any specific recommedations. Some pic's would be nice as well

Not many places out there for our XJ's but you are correct Jaguar XP is one and the other is EuroToys
Check out the links below, they have your mesh grills and some other goodies..

Good luck!

FYI I'm having the 2008 Spoiler added to my XJR next week, will be adding pictures afterwards!

I ordered mine from XP and am very pleased with the quality and the way they fit on my 04 XJ8.

So did you decide to order the Jaguar XP grills or will you go with another kind?

I ordered the jaguar XP upper and lower on Friday, yours looked real good I went that route.

Thanks

I've been curious about how the lower mesh grill would look on the XJ. Post some pix after you get yours installed. I plan to add chrome mirror covers this spring as well.

millben are you going to do the chrome mirror caps when you do wheels as well?

marc, that is the first time ive seen the spoiler, i cant wait to see some pics when you get it!

Yes, I plan to add the chrome mirrors and also whees. By the way, does anyone have any experience with the chrome covers versus the replacement chrome caps? The covers are only half as expensive as the replacement chrome. I've wondered whether the cheaper covers still looked decent and would be a good value for the money. Any input?

I didnt know they were diff, I imagine the caps might be chrome over a non painted piece of plastic maybe? Where are teh caps listed at?

Received my Jaguar XP upper and lower grille today, also purchased a set of their green center caps. Going to install it all this weekend Also had the windows tinted, I'll post some pic's after the project is complete[8D]

Any updates?

BMW:

Jaguar XP has the caps and I see the actual chrome replacements (OEM) on e-bay from time to time

THanks for letting me know as the XJ def seems the next step for me after my R in about a year or less and if its a non-R ill def want the chrome mirrors and wheels

Sorry to take so lomg for an update, Ive been REALLY BUSY[8D][8D]

The mesh grills look great! I had trouble getting my stock upper grills out so I had to have the dealer install them. Were you able to install either set yourself? Also can the tow ring on the passenger side of the lower grill be accessed with the lower mesh in place? How hard is the lower piece to take on and off? Your center green caps.. do they merely install with 3M foam tape? I need some for my custom wheels I've ordered.

Thanks, did both on my own in about in hour. On the lower the opening for the tow hook is covered but one the lower is installed all you need to is remove four small screws to remove it. As for the center caps they are direct replacements for the stock units, you simply remove the old ones and snap these into the rim. With you having custom wheels I don't think the stock caps would work, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the reply. I will probably order the lower mesh grill this summer and will have to buy the aftermarket center caps to replace the generic caps on my new wheels.

I have the JagXp grill is my car for 4 years and it is a top notch product.. I also have their intake...

I just ordered a mesh grille insert kit from Welsh Enterprises for $105.95 + $9.95 FedEx.
It seems to be the best value out there.
I'll let you know.

They also had good prices on center caps.
