does that leave the aluminium in place? I'm getting a new car soon and on my old car, after a year or two the aluminum was all scratched from bottles and cans etc, if its that easy I might pull it out and put some protective film on the ally

No, the whole thing comes out leaving just an empty box.

Great posts on this thread. Thanks to all.
I've now got 4 days with my '16 F type R and have the following things I've not yet figured out. If anyone has answers, please advise:
1) Phone voice dialing - my microphone icon on the main phone (dialpad) screen is greyed out and I cannot enable it. Someone earlier said to voice dial, all you do is hit that icon and announce your call. How do I enable my microphone?
2) I live in South Florida. Due to the humidity we run all our cars on "max" or recirc - whatever the manufacture happens to call it. I would like my AC to stay in the recirc configuration (or at worst, the last set position). Alternatively stated, I want it to be my default condition. Like item 3 below, unfortunately I need to manually switch to recirc every time I start the car. Anyone know how to set the way I prefer?
3) For the same reason as 2), I want my "auto-start" to also either stay in the last set position, or automatically begin in the "off" mode (i.e. don't auto start). Is there a default setting or workaround for this one?
4) Dynamic Launch - it appears that in 2016 with the R model (5 liter supercharged) - this is not an active feature. I tried a few times to no avail. The only thing I didn't do was really rev the engine high to enable the message to illuminate. Any hints here or am I correct in my assumption that it is not a part of my car?
thanks to all!

Look in your manual under Heating and Ventilation. Press the recirculate button for 'timed' recirculation, press and hold for 'continuous.'
More interesting, if you have the air quality sensor (sort of thought these were standard), it will automatically switch to recirculate based on air pollution or humidity. And you can set how sensitive it is, under 'Settings' on the Climate menu.
At least, the manual for my 2014 says all this. No idea if it still applies - thus, check your manual.
And Dynamic Launch has always been on the V6S only.

Y'all (Southern term) are great! Thanks for the prompt replies.
Isbordsky - thanks - sounds like this bothers you as much as I! I'll reach out to a dude in the Hyundai Genesis community - he figured out a workaround pedal and button pushing scenario to totally bypass the traction control system (enabling burnouts). Certainly we can find someone smart regarding the Jag firmware to get us a workaround for this autostart nonsense!
DJS - regarding the dynamic launch - thanks for the confirmation. In reality with AWD it is very well planted so no problem either way. Regarding the recirc mode - unfortunately I do not have a paper manual as of yet. I've been trying to rely on the electronic version available on the internet and simply put - it is less than stellar - the searches are not 100%. I just checked, and lo and behold the link for the automatic recirculation function is broken. When I cascade down to that portion of the menu and press the right arrow - nothing happens. I just went to the car - it took three tries, however it has latched my recirc on all the time - THANKS! BTW - your car color was my secret first choice (wife preferred the white). Had I not encountered the good deal I got the first one to show up in white, I would have likely gotten your color.
SO... we're down to the voice dial feature (and BTW I have an Android phone) - how do I get that microphone on? Anyone know?
thanks again!!!

You can also go to Topix (https://topix.jaguar.jlrext.com/topix/user/loginForm), register for free and do a VIN lookup on their first screen after login.

Hey Misujerr, Thanks a lot bro! I posted a pic on my original post, doesn't show up for some reason.. The trim panel in question was:
Part No: T2R15872PVJ; Rear Behind Seat Bulkhead Trim Panel Cover; Coupe, (rear parcel shelf)
Unfortunately dealer installed improperly, so the area where the aluminum tower contacts trim on the passenger side (coupe) is sticking up a couple inches, not fitting flat and flush like drivers side. lol
Anyone on here remove this to get to the subswoofers behind the seats etc..? ..some hands on experience with pics of removal or installation would be golden, thanks!

Here's a thread that discusses how to remove the side sills/skirts, as this question comes up periodically:
