Next the grill surround went into the bodyshop to be painted the same colour as the car from a colour chip to get a better match than the paint code on the vehicle plate.....

Hey Buck............sorry mate, doesn't do it for me. Don't think it matches the style of the car as well as it does on the XF...............The mesh inserts on the existing grille look better IMO
PS.....If you do get that lawnmower Buck, mines worse than yours, maybe you could do mine too?..lol

Sorry for late reply...been on hols...1100 mile sin a week to Cheddar Gorge in Somerset(tyre blew on motorway at 70mph and abs/eng light came on day later (link lead to r/f abs sensor causing cruise to stop too!!))
Anyway 2009MY grill is around £100 badge is around £12
Works out cheaper than the older stainless (or black) mesh.
