Default Mesh grill?

Thanks agains for the battery help everyone! Next i just wanted to ask you xj40 owners if you would ever switch out your original flute grill for a mesh grill? Everytime i buy a part i make sure its an 100% original Jaguar part however, i am really liking these newer mesh grills.

It looks sharp, probably would look better if that leaper was peering over it.

I would keep the original . As nice as your image seems ,vertical grill slats are the best

The mesh grill would be the way to go.


If you added a supercharger.

Now about those lights?

I do not like the old round lights at all. I much prefer the rectangles. That mesh grille is looking pretty sweet. I might buy a set and have both to change whenever I feel like it...

They both look good.

But, I don't know, the mesh grill just doesn't feel quite right.

And your car looks great as it is. Save your cash towards an XJR.
