My '09 XK has just the Growler in the center of the grill. I'd like to add the horizontal bars that go out from the Growler, but I don't know what they're called so I don't know what to search for.
My XK is black with a black grill, and I'm thinking it might help add a little contrast to the front. What are they called? Is there a good source? Aftermarket or OEM?
As usual, thanks for your patience with another noob question.
Cheers.

 

The "Taurus" grill? Most people want to get RID of that. Specific on the 2007, I do believe it is integral to that grill plastic and not separate. If you can find someone near you with a 2007, they would probably happily trade grills with you.

 

Yes it was standard only in 2007, surely would be easy to find one. It was a nod to earlier Jag grilles but never suited the X150’s modern design which’s why it was dropped after only one year.

 

Aw man..........Taurus grill?! You just ruined it for me. LOL. I thought it would break up the large amount of black on the front of the car, plus some E-Types have it. I've seen it on some later 5.0 XK's too - must be added on. But now?.......maybe not. I do like to keep things original, so if they were not optional on an '09, I'll probably not do it.

 

 

I literally lit up when I read this post - I’ve been wanting the stand alone Jag emblem grill and was (still am) willing to trade asap. Back to my eBay/CL search…..

 

I say the "Taurus Grille" looks classy on the XK.

Putting a bar on the Taurus isn't nearly as offensive as putting a slightly modified AM grille on a range of Ford sedans and hatchbacks.

 

Better a Taurus grill than the Taurus rear end the X-type had.
