Ive used a warning triangle I bought in UK, not a jag one. I would imagine that most EU spec triangles are the same size and therefore box would be roughly the right size to fit the recess

There are two sets of mounts and instructions. One for the coupe and one for the vert

So I decided to abandon trying to install as I am concerned about breaking clips for the lining of the trunk. I would be happy to sell the kit at a great deal if anyone is interested. Message me.

Regarding the warning triangle - here is a (not so good) pick of the OEM one for the European market in place in the trunk:

In a moment of impulse (and foolishness) I could see purchasing the one I posted above with the metal Jaguar head that may fit at 21-22 inches long.

i always thought that was where the rear tow hook was to be placed. However, since jaguar tells it's dealers to pitch the rear tow hook after receiving the car, that doesn't make much sense.

Dunno what it's meant to be for, but I find it very handy for my small rear window cleaning scraper thingy (that I use to wipe the dew off on a cold morning).

Not a stylish solution, but I keep a short one in the seatback pocket of the front passenger seat in my 1999 XJ8. I am not fast enough to retrieve an umbrella from the trunk/boot without getting soaked if it is already raining!

The umbrella kit T2R11274 works for the coupe.

Yes, but how does it install in the coupe?

Not very sophisticated. Just pop-rivers to the cubby cover with a placement that doesn't keep it out of the way. Think I'll pass.
