Default Start/stop switch

Just picked up a 2014 v8s yesterday and absolutely love it! I ant to try and add some red to the all black interior, starting with the engine start/stop button. Also thought about adding a red trim ring on the steering wheel. Anyone have a good source for these interior parts?

Do you really mean red for the stop/start button, or do you mean the Ignis orange that was standard on some F-Types but optional on others?
Coz the OEM orange button is a fairly cheap part to buy and also fairly easy to fit, there are threads/posts on here about it.
But if you really mean red, then from memory there are red stickers/decals you can buy to put over the OEM button, and there are heaps of red steering wheel rings on Fleabay and AliExpress.

Edit - here's a Fleabay listing for a red steering wheel ring: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ABS-Steerin...frcectupt=true

And here's a red (and lighted!) stop/start button: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Conveni...Z6Af:rk:1:pf:1

Of course there is no guarantee that either or both will be any good!

i think some red highlights will be a nice contrast to the basically all dark interior. Going to give it a try, if I don’t like it I can always go back.

I got my start button from amazon, but could only find it on ebay now. The door panel gap trim is on ebay ...

Yes...use the red start/stop button from an XK or other Jaguar product. Easy and in good taste.
