With that single piece grille shown, they've gone to an even finer mesh, like if going backwards, as most modern cars feature the thicker grille version. Compare that single piece/no divider mesh grille with the 2008 XJR pic attached below; quite different.

Then, just to further describe where I'm coming from, look at the red XJS pic below, it has the Mina Gallery mesh grille on it and then look at the green XJS mesh grille and compare both. The latter is the custom grille that I fabricated and installed on my BRG kitty after visiting Mina Galleries and looking at their version. I actually bought the material for my car from Mina, which I understand they use on after market Range Rover mesh grilles. I believe that my version grille makes much more sense to the whole car presentation.

This is why I wonder if anybody has actually tried this mesh on an X308 car. I'd sure like to try the thicker mesh on my XJR one of these days.

Cheers,
