IMPORTANT Application Details: This mesh insert is for the 2002 – 2004 (approx.) model ONLY, this model can be easily distinguished by its slightly larger grille. If you look at the image shown, you can see that the vertical measurement from inside the grille frame below the badge to the inside of the grille frame at the bottom of the grille is approx 300mm. Also this model usually has a badge with the Jaguars face ONLY as pictured above, without the word JAGUAR at the bottom of the badge in small text.
(Whereas the post-facelift model had a vertical measurement of approx. 280mm, so this mesh will NOT fit. And this later model has the circular badge with text.)
Fitting: This grille comes with full, easy to follow fitting instructions complete with numerous helpful fitting photographs.
This is the mesh insert only (it is designed to fit behind your existing grille frame surround). The mesh insert is pre-cut to the exact size. It is then pressed & formed to create the convexed shape that gives the grille its classic curved profile. You need to remove the existing plastic fins as explained & shown in the supplied fitting instructions. The job takes little over an hour.
Give your Jag the face-lift it deserves!
Electropolishing: Electropolishing is not electro-plating or chrome plating (both electro-plating & chrome plating actually deposit a coating on the surface of the metal, but as you probably know coatings or platings can be chipped off) Electropolishing is electro-plating in reverse. Instead of depositing a coating of another material on a surface, the action of electropolishing is to remove a surface layer, typically 20-40 micro-metres in depth in the case of stainless steel. The result is that the electropolished stainless steel surfaces become bright and highly reflective. This results from the removal of an often contaminated surface layer and the electrochemical action of micro-smoothing. The advantageous features resulting from such a bright and smooth surface are many. The passive oxide layer, which is essential to prevent stainless steel from corroding, cannot be improved upon following electropolishing. By reducing the total surface area, a result of micro-smoothing, particles and contamination are less likely to adhere to an electropolished finish. After electropolishing the surface if the stainless steel can be cleaned and kept clean more easily. The highly reflective bright finish is ideally suitable to exterior vehicle trim & grilles.
Here are comments from a couple of our customers:
“Many thanks for your splendid service and next day delivery of my grille insert. I fitted the item same day and I have to say the result is just fantastic, what a difference when compared to the boring original black fins. The fitting instructions are very comprehensive and I had no problems in doing the work myself (at 71 years of age !!!). I will recommend your product to other Jag owners, what a saving when compared to a new replacement grille assembly at anything up to £229!!!! Kind Regards & thank you.” Chris J Chafe.

“I got my grille insert earlier this week and with the weather holding out today, decided to fit it……..It wasnt a job I would have normally tackled myself but the instructions and photos are superb and explain everything perfect and 1 hour later the job was done and the Jag looks superb, much better with the horrible plastic grilles removed and the stainless mesh in place, anyway I am sending a photo that you may use to your advantage and you may also use this email too. VERY HAPPY!” Peter Wilkinson. (Scunthorpe)
