Talk about perfect timing, I'm in the process of making an E-Pace grille fit the car. Bought the E-Bay carbon fiber surround and will be in my second day of cutting and modifying the grille to fit well. Biggest issue is that the E-Pace grill has a spot for a 100mm emblem vice the standard 86mm and I just had to order one form the Netherlands as they are extremely hard to source.

And just finished up, it's not perfect, one of the holes in the side was stripped out so it's not perfectly flush, but from anything more than about three feet away you won't see it unless you know what you are looking for.




Not the final emblem, this is a very Jerry rigged one until the real one arrives from overseas ...

I recalled posting questions on this thread, but I see I never posted the results of my grill project. I decided to buy a cheap grill off eBay, just to use the surround frame. It came in fake carbon fiber, so I painted it Santorini Black to match the car.
Replaced the grill, the four side grills, and the two hood vents with stainless steel mesh.
I used rubber grommets to mount the parking sensors, which worked great, but I still haven't reset the sensors yet.
This was a lot of work, but I am very pleased with the result.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who posted in this forum. Your input made it much easier to do this modification.
Here is a link to the quick vid I made on removing the nose to do this work:
