JEC grille badge how does it look mounted ?

Postby Robban59 » Mon Apr 05, 2021 9:43 am

Dear JE fellows,

I'm thinking of getting the JEC grille badge for my MY2009 XK, but would first like to know the dimensions of it, there are no indications in the shop page, and more importat how it looks once mounted on the said grille.

Anyone with an modern XK has mounted it on its grille and care to share a picture of it ?

Thanks for any info you care to share !

Typically, mounting a badge on the front of a modern Jaguar isn't easy. There aren't suitable places on plastic noses. A windscreen sticker is the coward's way of overcoming the problem! :D Mike.

Hi
To mount badge on Modern XK use M3 (3mm) x 50mm toggle bolts, normanlly used for plasterboard walls. You will have to drill two 3mm holes in the badge put the bolts through then put the togglles back on the end. They push through the grille then just tighten up. I got a pack on Amazon for about £3.50.. job done!
