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.

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.
