Cup holder lid
I purchased a set of matte carbon fibre covers to apply over the rather bland Jaguar OEM offering, which doesn't appear to stand up to wear very well --> Real Carbon Fiber For Jaguar F-Type 2013-2024 Car Central Control Water Cup Holder Panel.

@DMeister went with the matte black covers from Amazon --> He might be able to comment on how these turned out?
Ultimately all this kind of stuff comes from China. I'm pretty sure the Amazon items come from the same factory as the trim I purchased, the carbon fibre ABS covers are far too glossy and don't look convincing in a $XX,000 car.
When I bought my trim cover, they only produced LHD versions, so if you look closely at the picture I uploaded to the thread, you'll see a small gap on right hand side. The trim cover itself is not symmetrical, which is odd because Jaguar only quote one part number for the OEM part and it definitely differs between LHD and RHD. Anyway you'll be fine as the mat carbon finish only comes in LHD version.
3 Parts to the kit, rear trim, cup holder lid and front trim, mounted with 3M tape. I found it better to remove the OEM trim so I could give it a good clean with alcohol wipes and warm it with hair dryer to improve bond.
Current pricing is around $118, but there are some Black Friday offers on at the moment on Ali Express, so you might get it for a few bucks less.
Finally, I would say the trim cover is not OEM quality like the Jaguar carbon fibre centre console trim, but the fit is very good and pre-installed 3M tape provides a good bond. Ultimately as it's 'not in your face', I think it's more than acceptable and does a really good job of improving the rather bland and low cost attempt by Jaguar.
