Hi there
So jobs done today:
- New wheels fitted and ceramic coated for protection
- PS4S tyres fitted in stock sizes (305/30/20 rear & 265/35/20 front)
- Rear Jaguar caliper plates fitted to cover brake pads
- Front wing adjusted to perfect alignment
- Thorough inspection of underside, no leaks, zero issues and signs of rust or corrosion.
- British flag valve caps added, it is the small touches.
Some pictures, car is not particular clean and tyres have the white gunk all over them, need to get some soap and give the tyres a good wash and then get some meguiars tyre black on the go, which is about the only tyre gel that seems to work on PS4S due to the fuzzy sidewalls they have.
Jobs to do:
- Fit 5mm spacers all round just to push wheels out a touch, very minor.
- Fit black wheel nuts, will go better with grey wheels than chrome.
- Alignment check and adjust.
- The rear caliper plates stand out like a sore thumb due to them being brand new so glossy red and the rest of the caliper in desperate need of a refurb. All the calipers shall be re-painted in the future, either in red or yellow with black jaguar writing on fronts and black SVR logos on the rear plates, at which point it will all blend nicely.
Just me adding my little touches to the car, very minor details as the car does not need for much as Jaguar pretty much nailed it out the factory.
No needback on PS4S, need to scrub them in first.

How did you go fitting the rear caliper cover plates?
Easy to drill the holes and mount or some hassles?
Pity they only come with "R" decals on them, OK for those with an F-Type R but not so good for the rest of us.

The other side of the plates is blank, my intention is to re-paint the calipers front and rear in a custom colour, I shall then add Jaguar writing in black to the fronts and the SVR logo in black to the rear plates.
