They edit the logo/emblem because of trademark laws and avoid having their item taken down and probably get a cease and desist from Jaguar. Also, that’s why you will notice many of the title for items listed on AliExpress reads and sounds like as if Yoda wrote it to throw off the programs big brand name companies run 24/7 looking for trademark violators in World Wide Web.

Feel like ive seen that photo of the BRG F-type before… is that @Unhingd’s car?
Also, my 2 cents: the P7 grille looks much better and cleaner without the growler.

Group buy? I would be interested and would prefer without emblem.

3D printing isn't great without a good post processing and coating, principally on that size and price... Perhaps is best someone or a group buy one and test it before even think about group buy, careful with rip-offs.
Perhaps only the mold is 3D printed, best option, if the grill is printed, verify which material and 3D process, with all the heat, isn't a great place for large and thin wall parts

Here's a video from the seller I uploaded to YouTube.
Video isn't that clear unfortunately.
Seller claims that the grill is 3D printed using photosensitive resin (google translated). If it was casted from mould, the price would be much much lower since it is much less time consuming.

You can see some imperfections under light but probably not noticeable when installed or maybe some more wet sanding and polished.
For the effort and price, doesn't look bad deal, I would give a try, possible always to fix it. Printing that on my Formlabs would cost double or triple and then would still necessary put parts together.
