There is nothing Bright about them.
The Dealer says they are correct but has promised to ask JLR why they are different from the advertised ones.
My 05MY XKR had bright metal pedals, I expected the ones I ordered to be similar, well just like the brochure.
What do you think? Anyone got similar pedals?

The items in the photo do not match the description. Nor the ones I bought - which are like the ones in the description.

There appear to be two finishes available as well: polished/chromed, and brushed.

Also, please tell me you didn't pay that much for parts that UK Jaguar dealers sell on eBay for less than £100...

Okay, Hatfields are (currently) charging £110, but the are a couple of 3rd parties knocking them out for less than £60...

Well it's a new car and I went for the Bright Sport Pedals. Yes lots of pennies. Just want to know if they are actually the standard pedals. They look nothing like the ones on the configurator and they are not worth the money, nor are they "Bright". I expected them to be metal with rubber inserts, not metal with rubber stuck on top.
Pics of people's pedals would be helpful. Thanks.

I was really pleased with my set from Ultimate Pedals.

Here's my pedals from MY16 convertible S, they look mighty close to the original Jaguar advert. Me thinks you've been had!

Yep, mine are the same as Andrew's, and I fitted OEM sets to both of my XFs and both were the same, chrome-look polished stainless steel.
You have been dudded, I would go straight back to the dealer and demand they be swapped over for what you ordered, it's not a big or expensive fix.

amr42 thanks for the photo. Do you have a metal cover for your left foot rest also?

I don't <yet> but am thinking about the Jaguar foot rest, and would probably match the 2 working pedals (I'm a manual guy, but couldn't resist the 8sp)...

I looked this morning when I was at a stoplight. These are the ones that are in my car and I believe they are stock / standard.

Noting that there variations between markets and models, the standard pedals on the base V6 are a plastic throttle pedal, and a rubber cover over a steel brake pedal.

The items in the picture can be fitted to any F or XF, and consist of a bolt-on stainless steel cover, with a rubber insert. The throttle pedal underneath is still plastic.

In some markets/models they may be fitted as standard.

How did you get the growler on the dead pedal?

It's an option the Ultimate Pedals provides if you order pedals from them.
