Hello MITM,

There’s a thread on the US F-Type forum. It’s goes into lots of detail about all aspects of this project. I’ve a set of these sensor pockets which will be fitted when I get my grill done professionally...

I’m sure someone out there would be able to produce a set. My F-Type phone holder was 3-D printed by Knightspeed. A Northern Ireland company specialising in bespoke F-Type gadgets. They maybe worth a try.

Miles away but check out The Bodycentre Ltd. They are in Norwich but are the type of setup you want to be looking for. Top class work of all top makes. JLR Approved etc. I follow them on Instagram & they post all sorts of stuff.

Cannot wait to see your finished photos. Are you going for the stickered plate? In my view there’s no point in doing this if the plate appears on it.

All the best,

Darren

Hi DaddyDarren

Those look well cool 👌

I’ll check out that body shop cheers mate.

I was thinking about the Sho and Go style plate holder but I do want to relocate the plate lower down.

I’ll post some pictures when I get the parts and part numbers etc.

So long as you cancel the front sensors you will be OK, otherwise they keep activating for no reason! There is no way that they will function correctly.

Fairly certain this has been debunked.

The early brackets made on the other forums left the sensor recessed too far into the grill. So you were getting false positives constantly as the grill was being detected. It was fixed by having deeper brackets which hold the sensors further forwards.

I used the holders pictured they were fabricated by a guy in Germany and sold by a Forum member who goes by the name of Mister Kajo. They do not work correctly at all!

Darren, are you able to share more info re the 3D printed sensor pockets?

Can anyone recommend a great bodyshop in the Birmingham/Solihull area. Willing to travel though for a quality finish.

I'm also looking for the bodyshop to remove and ceramic paint my exhaust tips in matt black

Thanks

Or you can just remove the number plate and holder and leave the cross-bar. Not the perfect look of the project 7 grill but still carries off the "black hole" of a grill area.
