2008 new style grill
ADAMESH (www.adamesh.co.uk) is now supplying the new (2008) style mesh grill as an aftermarket replacement for earlier model years. Being that us poor North Americans are likely never to see one, I'd be interested if anyone could post a link that has a better price than $US400 equivalent to get a hold of one.

RE: 2008 new style grill
Yeah for sure cadi,
I think the newer one looks better only because of the different style of mesh it has. I wish jag would make one with jaguar outlines where the holes are instead of just diamonds or that teardrop look on the newer one.
Like this but with the outline of a jaguars face...

RE: 2008 new style grill
I gotta say I prefer the older style mesh on the X ( sport style - body coloured ).........The new style looks great ( on the XF ) and suits the car IMO............but not on the X[&:]
Nothing wrong with the mustang type mesh I guess Aquill, but not on a Jaguar.......not for me anyways.
Personally, I reckon it'd cheapen the marque. Just my opinion and I'm sure there are those that differ, but there it is.

RE: 2008 new style grill
Update on availablility. Not sure why I said Ohio? but a Michigan supplier can get them from Jaguar for about US$230 plus $25 for the badge plus shipping. Here's the difference. The surround on the(actually should be called 2009) grill is meant to be painted the same color as the car, just like aSport grill is now. They would only bring them in primed, not painted. Adameshpaints the surroundbased upon what color you tell them and that's the biggest pricedifference. So if you want one in primer, you could try www.engelimports.com, or if you want it prepainted and can wait for it to come from the UK give www.adamesh.co.uka try.
I personally think the new grill is very groovy but wouldlook best with a Leaper or nothing. Now that I imagine what it would look like with the centre badge and my bonnett badge I may have to stay with my mesh insert Sport grill.
