Careful when buying Mina products as there are some companies reselling the Mina brand via their own portal which directs you to the Mina site but with their inflated pricing. Just check the URL before buying. For instance..... The first link is directly thru Mina Gallery

Jaguar XK8 & XKR Mesh Grille, Spoiler, Headlight Bulbs for Jaguar XK8 XKR

And thru jaguarxp.com???

Mesh Grille, Spoiler, Headlight Bulbs for Jaguar XK8 XKR

 

Since JaguarXP.com merely links directly to the Mina website, it is most likely owned by Mina. When doing a domain ownership search, you'll find that the site ownership is privatized. If you simply type JaguarXP.com into the address bar of a browser and hit enter with it immediately going to Mina's site, that is the likelihood. Also, I haven't thoroughly researched this, but it seems that most of the prices are the same and that Mina may have some old pricing accidentally left in place on JaguarXP linked pages. If this was brought to their attention, they might just say, "Ooops!" and fix it.

EDIT: I sent them a note about my comment and also see that they have JaguarP.com listed as an email address for tech help. I suspect that they just have an errant page with an incorrect price.

 

I find it best to call mina direct. Great guys there and always willing to give a better price than website.
Emailing not so much. Takes for ever to get a reply!
Never had a bad purchase with them. Just sketchy shipping. Can take a while.
Adamesh much faster but pricing usually firm.
I've bought for all my jags from both.

 

I use Mina a lot and Chis has always been very helpful, one of my favorite vendors.

 

Ahhhhh....I see. I've been very happy with them and have dealt with Chris as well. Great products and fast shipping.

 

For what it is worth Mina Gallery was formerly known as Jaguar XP, I believe Jaguar Cars Ltd. had an issue with that and the name was changed to Mina Gallery. (This is an assumption but around the same time a large disclaimer was added to the site stating there was no endorsement or affiliation to Jaguar cars ltd.)

And, to pile on here, i've been buying from Chris since 2006 and he has always been a pleasure to deal with and his products and customer service have always been excellent.

 

Thanks MarcB for that info. I agree, Chris has been great

 

I would not hesitate to buy from Mina Gallery, Chris is a fantastic vendor. He will answer any questions, has great pricing and does what ever he can to make transaction perfect.

 

Talk about customer service, when I ordered my arden style kit, I couldn't decide on the grille finish or shape. Chris has sent me four to choose from when I get to that point. The flat style and the convex style. I'll send back what ever I don't use.
Very few places would do that!! And he always gives a great price on anything I order.
I hate that jaguar inc has any issues with any of these companies. They offer so few upgrades to customize our cars, unlike BMW, and if not for companies like Mina and Adamesh, we'd be hard pressed to find aftermarket mods!!

 

Mina (Jaguar XP) has two prices. I called them. The lower price is for the screen that fits the current 2006 to date XK, which has mounting holes built in. The higher price is for the 2005 and earlier XK8 which needs the bracketing hardware to be installed.
