You bought those beautiful seats, and now you want to cover them up? That's the sort of thing that Ray Romano's mom would do. (Sorry, couldn't help myself. Of course they're your seats to do with as you please).

I got a seriously laugh out of that clip. You're right. But in all fairness, white is always beautiful but difficult to maintain.

I used this gear on my Barley (dark cream) seats in the XFS and Ivory (light cream) seats in the XFR, worked a treat to clean them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Meguiars-G1...wAAOSw241YhjO8
When I first got the XFS the seats were filthy, full of years of ingrained dirt and grime with horrible looking dirt lines and creases, the Megs cleaner got it all out and bought them up looking nearly as good as new. From then on in a gentle wipe with a damp MF cloth every couple of weeks is all that was needed to keep the seats clean.
Moral of the story - if you use a decent cleaner now and then you can easily keep the F-Type seats looking like new without resorting to seat covers.

I'm curious. Both of you use 15mm spacers in your signature. What are they, and what are their benefits?

Look into ceramic pro coating the seats and the interiors if you are concerned about the white getting dirty. The place where I had clear bra and ceramic coating done on the exterior also does a lot of interiors, basically make them un-scratchable and un-stainable, and they are not that expensive, and you still get to look at those beautiful sport seats everyday

I have these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Alum...ceBeautifyAB=0
Good quality and reasonably cheap, or else you can get "brand" names from H&R, Eibach etc for a few more $.
They push the wheels out away from the hubs, so that they sit more flush with the fenders. The main benefit is a more aggressive and IMHO a better look than stock, with no detriment to ride or handling and arguably better handling due to the increased track.

Do you use them on all the wheels or just the back one's? And would this void my warranty possibly? How easy is the install?

All four wheels, won't effect warranty, and installation is a doddle, if you can change a wheel then you can fit these yourself. They only slight hassle is doing up the front spacer nuts, it pays to have a helper to press the brake pedal otherwise the wheel wants to spin!

I don't know for sure but it's odds on they do, as all modern Jag wheels have the same PCD and centre bore.
