x'ed: just have a look in my user gallery.

golfdude: no the mesh doesn't continue behind the rib. there are 2 pieces of the mesh. at the moment there are no plans to make a second grill.

Count me In! Upper & Lower - Painted Black

Add me in for a set of lowers and the grill.

 

Count me in for the lower grille for now.

 

Here is the grille from the new Jaguar C-XF concept:





And here's Tino's concept for the "real" XF:

 

I would really like to see Tino's painted/finished product. Hopefully some of you will post pics soon.

 

Does anyone have a count for the group buy? Doesn't it have to be 30 minimum? Is the 30 uppers only? I'm not trying to be critical but if it is not painted it likes a bit like a smiling face with a mustache. I would like to see a painted version.

 

I did a very quick touch up and it looks much better when painted. Check it out. It was a very quick touch up!!!

 

Try one more time !!!

 

I did the same thing with a felt pen that you did, but it still hasn't convinced me. Andrew take me off the list until I see a few pictures with it painted and installed. And under better circumstances that tino's paint shop. Something outside with a few different perspectives. Sorry I am not convinced. Is the grill as shiny as with jag? or does it look like chicken wire ? I don't want to pay $486 and have it look like some cheap ricer.

I have been trying to figure out why the bentley and jag grills look so different than tino's. If you look at tino's it looks like a bunch of squares stacked. Correct me if I am wrong but tino's mesh goes over and under ever other crossing wire. The jag looks like the left to right and down wires are always over and just have a V inbetween each crossing wire. The look of the jag and bentley is much nicer. I realize the bentley has depth and is much more expensive, however I am not convinced this grill looks like anything other than cheap ricer at this point and that is due to the mesh. someone correct me with a close up of the grill outside showing how shiny it is or isn't. If it is dull it will look like chicken wire.

 

Can you at least wash the car? Andrew is probably having a headache just looking at it.

 

After careful consideration, I have decided to hold off on my final commitment also. A final product needs to be shown.

 

I like the possibilities, for example, a chromed surround, or silver matching the windshield frame. Not sure how it would look, but it opens it up for customization.

 

has anyone tried contacting DUB about doing a grille? they do the 300 custom grille it should be similar??? while i'm very eager to upgrade i think it could be done better, like all chrome, and an upgraded mesh?

 

I know Tino has put a great deal of effort to develop this grill, and I don't mean to discourage anyone, but if it looked like the attached picture with a finer mesh, I'd jump at the opportunity of buying one.

 

I've been lurking on this thread for some time, and for the cost you guys might be better off going to a custom body shop and have them make you an original piece that fits your style. I can't say the CTD grill looks attractive, in fact the original XF grill looks 10 times better.

 

Just received my southhams lower grill and it looks horrible... but numerous people stated that after installed it will look a whole lot better.. If i don't like the look of it I will gladly purchase the lower grill?

What time can i expect the group buy to end?

I agree 100% The photo you showed is more like what I was thinking.

 

I don't know man I think the one he made is better looking, but I already have the chrome grill covers and I think they look perfectly fine and fit the car well, but if I did not i would order the grill he made.

 

Are these the grills your talking about? If they are they do look alot better installed.
