Front lower chrome grill
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on a "New" or "Very Good" front lower chromed grill (sits horizontally below the front bumper). I want to replace both it and the "valance" it sits in. I'm assuming they are bolt on items. Car not here for referencing!

try David at Everyday XJ
it is a one piece grill.
Do you mean the steel body panel connected to both front wings?? I would get a new one from SNG Barrat, or whoever has it new. Both above parts are bolt-on.

yes, it is aluminum and the edges are painted black, the most awful job was done with this grille. Getting it chromed is a good idea. It looks like an adapted bottom-of-refrigerator grille.
Yes the panel between both fenders /wings is called the Valance. A pita to remove but someone's gotta do it. I replaced mine too, thanks to one of those parking lot stoppers. there are two bolts on each bottom corner, very difficult to get to, you'll need wooble sockets. 9/16 bolts if I remember. And the car has to be level, the Valance helps to keep both wings aligned.

And I thought Barratt was one of the more reputable dealers. Thanks for the head's-up. When I had my S111 E-Type, I always used Martin Robey as my panel supplier. Never had an issue. He even shipped a complete bonnet assembly to me in Toronto from the UK and it fit like glove. Perhaps I'll look him up again. I also used a place on Goldhawk Road, London, UK for all my mechanicals - but they seem to now only specialize in Auto servicing and not only for Jags, but they were very, very good.
