Cover replaced. Now, that looks much better.

 

Something tells me that the guy in the wash bay at that dealership is part owner of an F-type engine cover with gold lettering ;-0

 

On other news, these arrived.




Doing the install of the door logo lights in a few.

And with the wheel guides, I will remove the each wheel to orient the center cap properly . And also to check fitment of the spare set of wheels that I have. Need to see if I need spacer for those as well...

But first, need to tackle a few items from the honey-to-do list...

 

Out with the old...




New door lights... cool!

 

Are the new door lights an easy process and about how much time spent per door? Also, is disconnecting the battery required to accomplish the task?

 

Very easy process, just flip out the old ones, unplug them, plug in the new ones and reinstall (they clip in).
No need to disconnect the battery.
Just take note of which way round they go (orientation) as they won't clip in properly if wrong way around.
The hardest part is getting down on the ground to do it, well at least for a feeble old fart like me!
I have fitted two or three sets over the years now, the last set the same as those pictured about two years ago and they are still going strong with zero fading or degradation.

 

Thanks OzXFR.

 

Yes. Super easy. @OzXFR described it perfectly.

 

I placed the order for the Valve Exhaust flap control (RX1) made for Jaguar F-Type R (575 PS V8) . That is it... no more modifications for my car.

 

Is this flap control easy to install? I went to the site hoping to find some find some instructions but no luck.

 

Hey man,

I put this guide together when I installed mine. Others have used it and commented that they found it helpful —>

Honestly, it’s pretty straight-forward overall.

Cheers

 

For some reason I thought that wachuko had ordered a different product than yours. Excellent job with your instructions and the effort is appreciated and you are quickly becoming the post facelift go to guy on many topics!

 

Nope, exact same unit. This ASR seems to be one that many on the forum have gone with.

As for the instructions. We aim to please. Don’t always succeed, but we try ;-0

 

Arrived today...

 

Excellent! I placed my order today!

 

I want one bad, but the wife says no way I should spend $600+ to make my car loud.
I reminded her that I spent about $2000 on her C5 Corvette 15yr ago for a exhaust to make it loud !!

 

It was $412.49 when I placed the order...

 

well, shoot, that might be in the budget !!
At least I would not have to pull 15 fuse once a month for 2hr for cars and coffee
