Default Just joined the club.

I was an XF owner and i loved my car... Someone hit me in August of 2015 and totaled my XF.... Anyhow..... 4 Years later here she is 2016 V6 Convertible and im back on the forum! Special thanks to Frank_James for the Tornados.... I have not installed them yet, hopefully this weekend! She really is a dream come true....Active Exhaust, Dynamic Mode, Sports Seats.... Only downside there is no parking assist and backup camera but the car is pretty easy to see around...

What is the name of the part the silver/polished rings behind the head rest on the convertibles I would like to either black those out or carbon fiber ? thank you!


Thank you Frank. I will be installing these this weekend!

Just beautiful! and the Brogue interior looks great with black. Aren't those roll bars behind the headrests?

Aren’t those chrome covers merely an option? I think you can just take those off to expose black.

According to the 2016 Oz Specification and Price Guide I have the roll bars all have covers, with the chrome ones being parts
T2R5401 and T2R5402, the carbon fibre ones T2R5395 and T2R5396 and the gloss black ones T2R1115 and T2R2248.
So the OP would need to choose his poison, CF or gloss black, find and buy a pair, then rip the chrome ones off and replace.
I suspect they would not be cheap!

Edit - not too bad for the gloss black ones, $215.03 US each, see here for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-T2R2...EAAOSwAPVZNRzr
But $600 - $900 US each for the CF ones!
