The mesh on my X-Type is approximately 8mm. I would opt for the 7mm mesh if you like this look. Good luck!

Hi, I have seen some inserta dvertised on ebay with different hole sizes but I really like yours. Could you please tell me roughly what is th hole size on your mesh? i.e. is it about 7mm square or 10mm or bigger?
Thanks and Regards

Donny, I’ve never done a lower grill but the folks at http://www.jaguarforums.com and http://www.jaguarforum.co.uk will almost certainly be able to help. Try searching these two forums and there’s a good chance someone has published instructions.

I thought about fitting the very latest X-Type grill (after-market) at around £200, because Jaguar say the authentic ones they supply won’t fit a 2004 model like mine. I decided to go down the mesh insert route instead as I thought it might look a little bit “who’s he kidding”, plus the mesh-kit looks cool and understated whilst giving the car a more modern and sporty look, and it’s only £60! On Hugh’s point about the Adamesh ones looking duller, I mentioned this to the chap at Adamesh and he said that shiny chrome meshes tend to corrode and rust quite quickly compared to the polished stainless steel ones they supply.

Many thanks for posting these valuable instructions …The “adamesh” grill looks duller in their site photo compared withn your welsh enterprises sourced grill material.

Will be keen to see a pic from Frank prior to my own planned x type slat to mesh upgrade !

Kind regards …Hughn

Looks great. – I’ve just ordered a stainless mesh insert kit from “www.adamesh.co.uk” for £60 – free delivery to UK addresses.

Not sure about the lower mesh though – at £99 I might leave it for a while.

Thanks for sharing
Regards
Frank
