Hi Ken,

I converted my 3.0 adriatic non sport grille to the chrome ribs. I purchased the kit from the s-design jaguar site. It cost about $200.00. What you get is polished stainless steel caps that you bond on with a loc-tite product that comes with the kit. All the pieces are numbered and you start from the left and glue each one on all the way to the end.
I took my grill off and worked on it that way. I would say it took me about 1.5hours. I know the kit is costly but it looks much better now.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Darren.

Thanks for the courtesy of your reply. If I just "glue" the ribs on will it look as good as if I "took the grill out", and EXACTLY how would you take the grill out??? I thought the kit would be a "complete" replacement of the ribbed portion. Or, is that totally replaceable as one piece. I suspect from your post that it is not!

By the way, exactly what is the cost, address, and time to receive the parts. Once again am I actually paying for around 34 "glue on" parts, or chromed "ribs"?

Thanks!!!!
