A+ for effort, but I am not a fan. It looks like a cheap Autozone aftermarket grill that so many "lesser" cars have. Your Jaguar is a premium automobile and does not need any silly aftermarket items in my humble
opinion. Jaguar nailed it right the very first time.

I know others have said the '07 XK upper grill has a 'Ford Taurus' look, but I'm with Michael on this, and think it reflects and respects it's heritage in those iconic 'E' types. So that's one thing I don't plan to mod on my XK, but I certainly respect the decision of those that want to make their cars look the way they like them.

I only noticed that emblem can come off clean when I was throwing away the old grill when cleaning out my basement. I had replaced with the OEM metal grill and the original one was sitting in new grill box. Ironically, the new owner of my old XK lives near my close friend. I would've included the grill when I traded the XK in, but couldn't find it. The new owner did get a Carcraft Sun Screen...

In the meantime, you might want to paint the 'wings' black to minimize their look. Im guessing your trial run was done via black tape?

Yes, grille and badge were bought separately. The stock grilles are a very dark grey. As such, I painted both the upper and lower grille black and went with the red badge as imo it makes it stand out a bit.
