Default 2021 Model P300 no 'P300' badge?

Does anyone know why Jaguar doesn't put the P300 badge on the rear panel for these cars but they do for the P450? And has anyone know the dimensions for placing the P450 badge?

They think customers really want a P380 or better, so they leave it in stealth mode.
BTW, my P380 badge is removed (along with the other rear badges), so the un-cognisenti might think I have a P450!!!

Default No P380 anymore ☹️

P380 not an option anymore. The thing is the Jag dealership and Jag advertising actually had 'P300' in their blurb, so you think they would be ashamed of it?

The un-cognisenti wouldn't have a clue - they'd just know you have a great looking car!

Jaguar is not always consistent with which badges they use. I have a 2018 R Dynamic AWD. Some 2018 AWD cars have a separate AWD badge under the R Dynamic badge. Some do not.

Also at one point you were able to select if you wanted badges on the car when you configured the build.

It's possible, in the UK at least, to still select "no badges" in the build but, as I discovered when selecting that for my P450 last year, it only removes the variant designation badge. As such, for mine, it only stopped them sticking the P450 badge on the right. You'd think they'd give you a discount for saving them money but, alas, no!

I don't know if you will be able to find the exact dimensions, but you should be able to find a photo of one on Autotrader.com. I checked half a dozen 2021 P300s on there but none had the badge. I am sure if you check more you should be able to find one with it. I was checking cars all over the US.

Thanks for that, but can someone with a 2021 P450 just let me know how far down from boot (trunk) line and how far across from number plate (license plate) aperture the 'P450' is set? Surely one of you boys with a P450 has a rule or tape measure?

Default Balance restored.

'P300' badge in black installed by Monsterwraps of Hedge End near Southampton, UK, http://www.monsterwraps.co.uk/

I think it looks great and finishes the car off properly.

I purchased a used 2020 P300 Checkered Flag Edition. Not only does it not have the Checkered Flag badges it is also missing the interior Checkered Flag appointments. The car was built in December 2019 just as Jaguar was converting to the face lift 2021's. Makes me wonder if the factory ran out of the one year only Checkered Flag specific items?? The car also has some options not on the official sticker. Could they have loaded up a few of the remaining pre facelifted bodies to get them out the door???

My BRG 2020 F-Type convertible has neither the "F-Type" nor the "P300" badge because the original owner ordered it that way, when factory de-badging was still an option. He also spec'd the black package so the rollbar hoops are solid black and the only chrome is the spoiler's leaper/JAGUAR logo and on the center-front growler badge. Looks fantastic with the top down with its saddle brown Windsor leather. Since it had the black package, I completed the look by shedding California's standard white license plates with blue characters and opting for custom black ones with yellow alphanumerics.
