What is the correct name for this part?
Hi
I bought my 2003 Vanden Plas in mistral blue but it is missing a part.
What is the correct name and colour for the lower grill insert ( below the upper grill and is mounted horizontally) below the bumper line?
My Jag is I believe Mistral blue so what colour one am I looking for? Is it body colour or is it Black? I see a couple of clips are still hanging there...
Better yet does anyone have one for sale that they could ship my way?
Also are they all the same from 1998 to 2003 and interchangeable from the xj8 to the Vanden Plas?
Cheers

They call it the 'Radiator Grill Vane'... Part 20 in this link:

It states chrome and painted (though it must be painted and isn't delivered painted). I would assume, depending on your car's brightwork (around windows or not) that it would be related to that. My car has the black window trims and has a painted one.
