Looks quite nice. Did someone fabricate that for you?

Not bad at all. My XJS is black, and I've been considering a mesh grill, powdercoated black. Also blacking out the quad headlight surrounds.

Just got done custom through Mina Gallery. However, I might change the mesh to black

@manny

Looks different for sure ! I wonder what it would look like without the wide chrome surround ? ie only with the mesh ?

What grille did you have as standard ?? the thin black one like mine ?

I usually like original items on the car (except for my leaper) but this looks really nice!! Usually Mina does more tasteful aftermarket stuff.

I would definitely color the mesh black, that way it still looks reminiscent of the original grill, but very unique.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I may get one!!

Looks great!

Default Nice!

I think it adds a clean modern touch to a classic vehicle.

I like it. I was thinking of adding mesh to my stock grill but this has got my creative juices flowing - I feel a custom black mesh coming on.

Thumbs up

Very NICE, especially that chrome edge on the Black car.

I did ours back in 1997 I think.

Default Install?

Looks very nice! I always thought the factory grill is rather underwhelming. How was the installation process?

Very easy. Three screws on top. That's it...
