1999 S Type Mesh Grill Conversion

[Macdonald]

Hi Folks,

 

I'm keen to convert my 1999 S Type grill to mesh and would like to know - Would I need to purchase a specially made kit or is it possible to cut and replace from mesh sheet?

 

 Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would like to convert mine too.. i have not looked at the fittings yet but would be great if someone who has done it can upate us on how to do it.

Have seen this one on eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/S-Type-Jaguar-Grille-Stainless-Steel-Woven-Grill-mesh-insert-1999-2002-/171032103278?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27d24ec96e

 

Would be good to know if it's as easy by hand from sheet?

or you can buy the mesh and do it yourself if you are reasonably creative and ok with tools. Hardest part is cutting the existing grille 'struts' out
