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.

Oh, by the way I forgot to ask that if you were to glue the ribs on WITHOUT taking the grille portion out.....how would each rib fit onto the original ribs WITHOUT MAKING IT LOOK AS AN "ADD-ON"? In other words, how are they put on so that EACH END of the rib slips UNDER the rectangular chrome frame on the grill??
