£800 not bad at all! what sort of mileage?

Yes. All sills look and feel really good. Full Jaguar service history. The alloys are not curbed. I'm amazed.

you can buy them pre-made from somewhere like e-bay etc, or from a breakers, I have to say I don't know about them being thicker? I would imagine the fixings would be the same, you will see from my post I cut out the original vertical slats, and sprayed the plastic bit that was left silver, otherwise the surround (black bit) would have showed around were the bonnet meets the grille (Just a personal choice)

Hi Raymond Welcome to the JOC If you have some pics of her that would be great I changed the grille myself last year, have a look at my post to give you some idea Regards Steve

Hi, Appreciate that this response is rather late and you probably have resolved your dash cam issue. I am new to forum. However this may be useful to others. I had a similar dilemma when wanting to add a dash cam to my S Type. I don't like trailing wires and I didn't want to keep removing the camera every time I park my car in case it gets stolen. The solution I settled with was a mirror cam. It has a 4.3" screen built into the mirror and the kit includes a rear camera. (see images below). The front facing camera quality is very good and the rear camera quality is more than adequate. The camera uses a Micro SD card for storage. The things I really like about this cam is that the front camera is on the R/H side of the mirror cam (many are on the left and face away from the road in a R/H drive car) and the power, rear cam and GPS module (purchase separately) plug in to the top of the unit. This allows you to feed the cable/s along and around the headlining edge and drop down by the mirror post. I also fitted a dual DC to DC USB converter unit which I connected into the driver's foot well main fuse box. This does away with the need for dangling USB power leads plugged into the cigar lighter/AUX socket. The camera stays fitted at all times as it is discreet and functions well as a mirror. The only downside is that when the camera is active it "blocks" the signal from the key fob when locking or unlocking the car. I overcame this by not setting the camera to auto activate. If anyone is interested in more detail I can provide some more images etc. All items available on Ebay Cam circa £40 Converter circa £5 SD Card circa £11
