Danny is great. I bought my wife's Range Rover from him and was looking to buy my Jag from him too until I found mine at the local Porsche dealer. It had the BRG with Brogue interior that I really liked and also only had 5500 miles fully loaded including various carbon fiber pieces. But if the deal felt through, I would probably being driving around in yours...lol.

Yeah I was a bit concerned about the mileage of this car so I negotiated an extended 2 year CPO warranty into the deal. Gives me full coverage for almost three years. Speaking of carbon. Any idea how to best clean the blade wheels with the attached carbon? On my BMW I used Meguiars Wheel Brightener. It's some nasty stuff, but got rid off the brake dust very well. It's very aggressive so I'm hesitant to use it on these wheels.

I did a 5500 mile roadtrip last year. Very comfortable. I'll be doing about 7500 miles in two tranches this year.(CA & then back)

I found these exact parts in my glove compartment:

What are these parts? - Jaguar F-Type Forum

Does anyone know what they are for? I tried to find them on parts.com but came up empty.

This may be the answer, but no guarantees. Do you have a convertible with the wind deflector mounts installed? They may be the access plates in the roll hoops where those mounts attach.

I think that's an excellent guess.
