Remember to measure your growler surround and make sure the ring you ordered has an inside diameter that will fit over it. I needed a 90mm ring to have it fit over my growler.

mm.
Actually, I just checked my eBay purchase history and evidently I bought the
* Size: 100mm / 3.94-Inch (Outer Diameter)
* Size: 82.55mm / 3.25-Inch (Inner Diameter)
one. It has some wiggle room, so you may be OK with 95mm. I still need to clean up the silicone edges and goopy parts, but it still looks OK for now albiet a tiny bit high (not noticeable unless you're looking straight-on while kneeling).

Yeah, powerhouse has a 2007, I believe those growlers are removable. Ours (mine anyway) are a part of the grill and can't be removed, and the outside circle part on mine is 80

Can you give me any pointers on how to wire it?? the size I got is just about perfect if I glue it in as it's very tight.
I've got a wire splitter and inverter, but even then the wire isn't long enough to wire to headlight power..

Great to read some interesting comments and everyone is entitled to their own .As for the word Pretentious, which translates from the dictionary as,
"making claim to distinction or importance, esp undeservedly", well the xk deservies to be pushed out here, no mater what means, look at wraps, wheels ,body kits and the best of all exhaust noise. There are plenty of car makers doing illuminated grill badges such as Audi, mercs, lexus and deseviedly so as they make some nice motors too. If people didn't differ in ideas it wouldn't make our motors individual to us.
Having owned now two jags and there is members with more there are certain things IMO could have been better designed, so i would differ in the statement "The Jaguar XKR is a beautifully designed car out of the box", this fourm shows how things could have been better, design and build quality.
I love my xkr the good and the bad points and i wan't it to be Pretentious, i want it to scream look at me, after all it's a JAG.

I took off the front plastic panel, the one that covers the top of the radiator. It has fifteen screw-type plastic retainers. Once that is off, it's real easy to get the wires over to the connector area, right where powerhouse said. I used an extra positap connector I had from installing my Jag Wrangler Remote Top Kit. If your wires are a bit short, just solder some more wire onto it (covering with heat-shrink, of course). Also don't forget to find a good ground for the other wire, actually a bit more difficult than you would think. A multimeter comes in handy for this part.
