Carbon Fiber package including carbon fiber blade rims. The car was ordered that way from the factory.

Default I've got the same issue...

My used purchase will not have the BP option. First considered getting the chrome wrapped in black carbon fiber but have since decided to do what Jag is doing on their '17 models moving forward. Color match them to the car and just leave the inner grill black. I think Jag got it right with the color match because on this particular car, the lines are so perfect the eye doesn't need distractions with accessories. The smoother flow the better like Ferrari does.

By the way for ***** & giggles, I took a look at how Aston Martin handles the vents on the Vanquish and they color match as well. Good enough for the F-Type!

All I need to think about is whether to wrap, dip or paint the window trim gloss black, then call it a day.

I'm not sure why they aren't included in the Black Pack, but gloss black hood louvers are available for AWD models:

T2R15916 - Right Side
T2R15918 - Left Side

Cost is around $312.00 each.

Much less to wrap them, but could be a challenge.

Sorry to revive this thread but I am about to purchase an ultimate black AWD model and I would like to chrome the hood louvers. Does anyone know what material the part numbers listed above are made of? I would like to keep the original louvers and get a second set that I could get chromed..

Does anyone know if the new SVR hood vents will fit the 2016 R AWD model?

I would have to say yes. The SVR appears to be the same AWD hood and the vents have the same shape.

The carbon fiber SVR vents would be a nice option.

Funny you should ask as I completely agree with you. In my opinion the side vents should have come painted to match the car just like the vents on the hood. That was the first mod I did to my R and I love it. Looks so much better than stock black or chrome in my opinion. The carbon vents do look very nice as well.

Any idea where to find the part numbers for the SVR hood louvers? I would like to have them put on the car before I pick up the car. Although the car is ultimate black I hope these carbon fiber louvers will at least offset the large expanse of ultimate black on the hood. I wouldn't mind a touch of chrome on the hood as I would like something to break up all of the black...

No, I think you will need to contact the dealer for the SVR carbon vent part numbers, I can't find it online. All the online Jaguar parts catalogs I have found don't have the SVR up yet. The SVR vents have louvers and are different than the R, here is a picture. I think the carbon vents and other carbon accents will look really nice on an all black SVR. Go for it, order them !

Thank you, I am looking to add the SVR louvers to a 2016 R but I hope they will fit..

i saw a new svr this morning. It had the stock vent and it's a flexible plastic part. The vent ridges can easily be moved by pressing on them. Not impressed with this part.
