Welcome aboard! Is yours RWD or AWD?

It's a RWD makes for quite a lot of fun, 😁. 14plate with super low miles, on it.

Welcome. Keep us all informed with pictures of any mods you do. I am currently getting ready to paint my Project 7 front grill.

I've been thinking of a project 7 grill, did you get it directly from Jag?? I know paramount do one similar, I had thought about going to them,

Jaguar will not sell you one. You have to buy an aftermarket one & make it fit.

Not necessarily, if you have the part number of the bumper and a vin number of a project 7 they may supply you one...

Speak to Darren (daddydarren), he’s moved from the paramount to a genuine one, have a search and you’ll find some pictures on here

Welcome and congrats on new car!

Not to nick a thread but The paramount grill is what I have. The problem with it is the surround is very flimsy. I am going to beef this up so no distortion occurs, which is the main problem with them. Also the parking sensors I am addressing . Will post a new thread once done to show what a success or mess I made.
