I can't believe it can be so hard

I've been up, down, high, low UK, Holland, Germany and USA - and i can not find a XJ8 (X358) second hand front grille.

Only place on ebay that has one is new at 1.100 £

Can anyone please please help me??

Thanks
Jason

Yes they are super expensive to buy now, the last one I saw on ebay was about £500 used.

Front grill inserts only, in XJR style, are available from eBay. Here is an example. The entire grill would be more difficult to find and expensive to ship even if available.

I think they're talking about the updated body-color grille with the big growler and wider mesh inserts.
