Thanks for the XKR wheel spats video Jaime, I'm going to the dealership later today to order them. I already removed the rear factory PPF add ons because they stand out a little much on a white car regardless of how clean I keep her.

Glad I could help. Just one comment, the person in the video used 10 clips. I think that you can install all 12 clips. I will get two more from the local dealer and install those two at the bottom (one on each side). Double face tape should keep it in place, but best to have the clip as well. Again, this is for the last/bottom clip on each side. I hope that makes sense. So get 12 clips instead of 10.
Started installing the Fitcamx. This video came in very handy. Easy install. Just be gentle/careful removing the covers, they come out easy without much force.
Just a few photos but the video is spot on for our cars. Much easier than I thought it would be. Just need to route the rear cable/camera and secure that.
Here is a screenshot testing, before routing rear camera cable.
And a few more photos from during the install. Again, covers came off without much work. Routing of the wiring from the camera to the light cluster was easy as well.
The cable sticking out is for the rear camera, that I need to route now.
Will do. But only 5 clips spaced evenly in addition to the tape on each side should still keep them secure enough, right? The dealer charged me $75 (their cost) per side for a total of $150, does that sound fair? They will arrive tomorrow.

Yes, 10 clips is fine. That is what I have now.
And yes, $150 for both sides, with the clips, is a good price.
I use this one in my motorcycle. Works great. Not sure how it would work in our cars. Since my car has CarPlay, no need to get one... but I am guessing for the rest, it should work as any of the other solutions out there. Best to go with one that has been tested/proven by a fellow forum member.
Only thing that I had to do was to close the clips a bit more from how they came.
Used these to remove the tabs that are not needed.
And, as mentioned in the video, there is really no need to cut the bottom... it can be left like that.
Interesting, in the photo is looks as if it was detached from the body of the car... must be the reflection playing tricks... it is attached perfectly to the contour of the fender lip.
The clips don’t look black in these pictures, but I assume it is just the photo? They look more noticeable than I would have thought.
To be clear, the Android Auto and CarPlay in the F-type is NOT wireless, so you could benefit from what I and you linked.
Unless I’m missing something here.
Cheers
Stop replying with logical and factual answers...man!
Man do I feel stupid, lol. Apologies... not sure where my mind was when I answered that. Yes, you are correct. Goodness...
I have it and I could try it in my car. But I like to have the phone fully charged so I always plug it in... it will be for little use to me in the Jaguar. Even in the Gladiator, that does have wireless CarPlay, I plug the phone to power...
Would have been nice and made more sense if Jaguar would have applied the adhesive tape on the entire length than we may have gotten by with one clip at the top and one at the bottom. I will at least do my very best to make sure the clips are equally spaced due to my OCD issues!
Not an R75, but after tint, lower side skirt wrap, painted hood scoops and PPF patches removed in front of rear tires. Not necessary with darker colors but the changes definitely add some contrast on white and silver cars.

What a beauty. Enjoy it in good health!!
I got black because that is what was on the showroom floor... It was an impulse buy. I would have loved British Racing Green. I saw one in the flesh, with the same tan interiors, and it was a stunning combination. Even the first color combination that I was going to buy (2019 Convertible) in Corris Grey with red leather interiors, looked amazing... But black it is... such a pain to keeping it looking good...
Your F-Type is awesome and definitely pulls off that sinister looking vibe! By the way, your camera installation is flawless and I wish I had the electrical/mechanical skill set to pull those type of modifications off.
They have been on the car since 2017. They aren't painted on the inside so they look the same now as they did when first installed.
Cool!
A few more photos from the dashcam after fixing the rear camera to the back window. I want to route the cable to the back camera via the rubber grommets and rubber hose that is in the back hatch. But no hurry on doing that. Good for now.

There are indentations in the trim molding where the clips should be placed. I would think your OCD would be worse if you did not use those indentations.
