I just got my 2021 R-Dynamic P380 back from the piant shop after being side swiped by a pick-up.
They did a very nice job - looks as good as ever and I got great service from Geico..
My question is about the emblems . To deal with the rear quarter scratches the shop blended their paint across the rear "bumper".
That required them removing the stick-on emblems "R-Dynamic" and "P-380" for which they still awaiting delivery.
Having got the car back, I am thinking that it looks pretty damn good without the emblems.
What say you about leaving them off completely and saving them for the eventual next owner to decide upon way down the road?.
I think the rear looks cleaner without the stick-ons.

 

Several owners have debadged their cars. I wouldn't say you were weird for liking the look without the badges.

 

A rear end as gorgeous as that of the F Type should be bare, as God (and Ian Callum) intended.

The F-Type I just acquired came bare - but in my old BMW days de-badging a 3 series tended to have negative connotations about what the driver bought vs what he would like to have. Luckily, I stopped caring what others think a long time ago.

 

I've kept the leaper and the S, but the JAGUAR and F-TYPE lettering are gone. It looks cleaner to my eye.

 

I have never seen one de-badged. I LOVE it! I concur…there is something to be said about it….you see the lines of the car better. I know what I will ask the dealership to do when I bring it in next! Thank u.

 

Why pay the dealership to do it, it is one of the easiest DIY jobs of all.
The only difficult bit is the leaper because it has two holes and a dent under it, so best left in place.
For the other badges it's four easy steps:
1. Warm them up (to soften the glue) with a hairdryer.
2. Grab a roughly 40 cm length of dental floss or fishing line and use it to saw through the glue behind the badge.
3. Clean up the remaining glue residue with your solvent of choice, I use eucalyptus oil.
4. Polish and wax.

 

I LOVE this! Thank you! I am going to do it this weekend!!!!! Thank you SO much!

 

Couldn't agree more. Ditching the pointless F-Type and R-Dynamic stickers was one of the first mods I did to my car. This is the way an F-Type rear end is supposed to look.

 

Nah, it's supposed to have quad exhaust pipes!

 

Each to their own, let's agree to disagree on that one.

 

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

 

Badger...what color IS that...a pearlized white?! Omg that is stunning! I love the way it looks without the tags. Such a clean look. Doesnt pull your eye away from the lines of the car! Superhot!

 

In his signature, he has "satin pearl white wrap".

 

Whether it’s a 6 or 8.

 

Yeah, I had you in mind when I posted!

 

Full stealth.

 

eeeek: That's an amazing shine. What did you use?
I have decided to definitely keep my clean backside!!
Just not sure I can match your gloss.

 

Just a wash, wax and clay bar. I have the clay bar done once a year and then just try to keep on top of it with hand washes. The clay bar really brings out the shine.

I've been debating ceramic coating, but I'm got too many expenses right now and the best price I've found has been about two grand.

 

While quad would have been nice, they didn't offer that with the three-pedal tranny...
