Default Anyone Vinyl Wrap XJ's C Pillars to match the rest of the car ?

We are looking at a 2011 XJ in White and I dont like the Black C-pillars so I am thinking I will vinyl wrap them to match the White paint.

Anyone else done this ?

Here are some pictures of a 2012 XJ that my old dealer had the "D" pillar painted white to match the exterior color. Note that these panels are easily removable and are plastic. I opted to not change my color as I like the way the XJ was designed to look. Hope this helps in you making a decision.

I prefer just the opposite - wrap the white pillars with gloss black to match the rest of the roof: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...f-wrap-133173/

I love the factory look but seeing the body wrap also looks nice.
Not a fan of the all black top.


I think Jaguar got this one right and I like being about to say "that's a XJ w/in seconds of looking". Today too many cars are starting to look the same.

the black D pillar looks nice if the back window is tinted.

one thing i did do was black wrap the painted part of the roof, behind the glass. made the roof look cleaner
