They have been placed, in homage , at the gravesite "of Jaguar's deceased founder Sir William Lyons, who died in 1985."

So are the louvers non functional? Seems like a poor styling choice on jag's part if they were not. (sorry XKR guys- I like the XK8 hood, I do like the XKR grille though but not enough to be one of the pretend XKR guys).

I reread the seller's post, hood was replaced. Me thinks it was a salvaged XK8 bonnet instead.I thought the color of the black vs the fender looked just a bit off.

XKR louvers are open and do allow some air flow under the bonnet.

Uno-AV, I too like the grille on the XKR, however, unlike you, I would pretend to be faster than I am with one. The mesh in the 'teeth' just looks mean. Ours look like braces.

I prefer to think of it as "I'm so fast, I think I swallowed my bumper" or shark with braces-as noted.

Yes, the louvers are functional. The supercharger adds additional heat and the louvers help dissipate the heat.
