Has anyone replaced their grill?

Please may people post some pics, suggestions or their own custom designs or ideas. I need inspiration!

I want to have the black surround with mesh from the Jag XKR and XJR respectively. Can anyone photo shop this?

Thanks,

Alex.

You want this and chrome stuff?? Sounds like a mis-match to me..

Smoothars has a custom made grill, and its weaved chrome like the Jags... you can see pictures of his car on the Peaks Run thread

I like the look of that black sunvisor...looks very cool, might have to do that to mine!!!!

alexcroft · Apr 30th, 2002, 02:42 PM

Yes jamiesim,

it does look the part.

Maybe i'll get one with MINI-SPORT on it!

Well...it's a thought.

Joking aside, very nice touch.

Alex.

Weaved Chrome? I thought it was Expanded Metal!

What he's after of the jag is Woven Wire in S/Steel, a 4's mesh or 3's Mesh should be about right (4's being 4 holes per inch, 3's being 3 holes per inch)

Woven would look much better than Expanded Metal, thats what I'm hopeing to do myself.

alexcroft · Apr 30th, 2002, 02:56 PM

I just need to get hold of:

- mesh from the XJR (£30 from jag)
- Grill shell (£25 from dealer)...non smokable of course...
- Sunny day for work in the garden
- A few tools etc...
- Some patience

Any advice on assembling such a grill would be highly appreciated!

Alex.

jamiesim · Apr 30th, 2002, 03:32 PM

make sure it can handle sub 7second 0-60 times and 150mph+

alexcroft · Apr 30th, 2002, 03:35 PM

Thanks jamiesim,

I will definately keep that in mind!

smoothass · Apr 30th, 2002, 07:00 PM

it was quiter easy to do, i used the origibal grill surround, cut the grooves for the slats out and then dont tell anyone but stick it all togethr with lots of double sided stickjy tape and super glue, ssshhhhh its a proffesional job

jamiesim · Apr 30th, 2002, 08:22 PM

It sounds like a bit of a bodge job to me... How long is that really going to last???

Got to be more complicated than that to get a long lasting, durable, professionally finished grill...

Back to the drwing board...

monsta · May 1st, 2002, 05:31 AM

Couldn't you have used araldite or something???
