P 7 Bumper-less Grille Installed

I like the stock bar as well. It harkens back to the E-Type which is what the F Type was bred from.
You might want to consider placing the growler badge in the center. Without the bar in place it seems to beg centering.
How might you hide the metal bar going across the assembly, behind the grill.....
Nice work though. It does not look cobbled together.

To each their own; for me the grill bar is an add on that the lawyers forced the designers to install and the P7 looks like an F type should. I can hardly wait to swap in the P7 grill as the bar is literally the only styling element of my F type that I don't like.

I actually love the open look on the rest of the line-up. The F-type grill positioning is a lot lower and more pointy than the other models, so it makes it look like a bass/vacuum cleaner. I don't know, but maybe its because every time I see a P7 grill it has lipstick on it, which drives me mad.

Hey guys -
So if all goes well, I should be picking up a 15' R coupe on Friday morning
Have all the sources for the P7 grille dried up, or are the rat lines still operating? I see Paramount doesn't have a Jaguar section anymore - not that I was considering it. Would be curious if you guys used a hookup, or you just went to your dealer with a valid VIN# to get them ordered. Also - did you guys send the manufacturing diagram to a third party 3D printing service?
cheers

I don't believe he is still able to get them, at least a few months ago he was not. Alot of guys these days with printers, i asked a local tuning group i follow on FB and got 10 responses from people willing to try, with the sketches Jluez1/Meister Kajo/Unhinged posted it is an easy job.

OK..you both made me go out and look at them at 4am. (Oh crap...I have to mess with those thousand screws again?) The sensors are indeed positioned in the same number of cells from bottom and side of the surround, but the surround isn't perfectly symmetrical. One of those cells is about 1/2" lower than the other. For some reason the picture angle exacerbates the offset. Looking at it straight on, no difference.
