Seems about expensive as the dealer.Get a price from the dealer and demand a discount.Tell them youre either in the trade, its for a car thats over 3 years old (if the dealer is part of the alliegence program) or youre a member of the Jaguar EnthusiastsClub.
If youre not I canPM you my JEC member number if they need it for the discount.

Called Taggarts of Glasgow re mesh grilles - see below
Upper Mesh grille c/w surround £134.00 + vat = £157.45 Dealer
Lower Mesh insert£135.00 + vat = £158.62 Dealer
Total= £316.07 Dealer
Upper mesh less 10 % £120.60 + vat = £141.70 Dealer
Lower mesh less 10% £121.50 + vat = £142.76 Dealer
Total = £284.46Dealer
Upper meshas part of combo pack}
£160.00 Total Adamesh
Lower meshas part of combo pack}
Jaguar dealer was more expensive by £156.07, even after 10% discount they were still £124.46 more!
I've had parts ( rear parking sensors ) from Adamesh before and they work fine, arrived quickly and were the cheapest option available.
I think if n when I go for it Adamesh will be the way to go for me.

Jim the Adamesh grill combo is black!
What about the XP kit much cheaper (£137 ish) and you can opt for either a polished stainless steel fiinish or a black finishbut you will need to find stainless bolts to fit as they dont come with stainless bolts from what I have read.
If I updated mine I would go with polished stainless.

Thanks Buck, much appreciated as always mate.
It is the black I'm after though mate as I'm not a fan of the chrome and with the Sport being de chromed I dont think it'd look good, not for me anyway.
I'm still at the shopping around stage anyways and have to repaint my calipers yet, also have the leather dye comming too so that I can freshen up the interior a little too ( there's some light scuffing on the drivers bolster - common problem! ) as well as shopping for rims as well to replace the kerbed one / two and replace the space saver as well. So, got a lot goin on with the X at the minute!
Cheers Buck

Yeah I'm with you Jim...black is better for our sports...I think anyways...actually they'd all look good either way...hey jim try and find some pics of your color jag with a mesh grill and I'll make it black so you can see jim...if you wanted...
Need to get off my rump roast and make some for myself...can't find time for much of anything...add on top of that basketball league starts in a couple of weeks...man I'm screwed! Not to mention the low tonight is supposed to be 30 degrees fahrenheit![

Thats the way its supposed to look.....lol
I think its suits the Sport much better than chrome.
Although for sure different coloured cars carry it off better than others...........red for example or maybe white, and certainly black for than really mean look.

I dont have chrome either but think the chrome mesh is the way to go even on the sport models which is why perhaps its standard on new X Types now or soon.
It doesnt matter that there isnt chrome anywhere else I dont think.
Black looks like something is missing.
The chrome looks £££s which is perhaps why Jag are going to fit it as standard...perhaps from surverying customers opinions I would presume?
