Not the best picture but if it chromed I think I am right in saying that you should have two and on the S type they fit on the "B" pillar to bridge the gap between the front door handle and rear door chromes strip. You should also have a small plastic rivet/grommet that you put in the hole then the leg of this chrome piece fits into the plastic rivet/grommet.

 

They hold on the two chrome strips on either side of the rear number plate box with a clip that pushes onto their shaft.






The B pillar chrome is held on by a nut.

 

Glyn is right except in the case of a MK2 it is one chrome surround, Also the kit uses 'speed nuts' we think--same effect.

 

Sorry. Forgot we were talking a Mk2. Number plate box surround.

 

Hi Glyn,
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated,
2 last questions,
what does the center beading clips for the bonnet look like?
There are 2 holes in front or the front door- to bonnet and 2 holes behind the rear doors, do they take the pop rivet type clip as well?
Regards,
Alex

 

Front of front doors & front of bonnet short strip ~ to stop chrome blowing off at speed.

Each use 1 of these held on by nut & anti-shake washer.




Then leaper & then rest of bonnet these horrible things riveted on (you can try the pop rivet clip. I thought they were too small but check) . Some kits have a staple similar to side of bonnet. Aftermarket sell those fancy chrome jobs with a nut.








Two holes behind back doors take these friction bushes to push on chrome spears. Spear studs are now threaded but go into a blind panel so you can't attach nuts. Real dumb!

 

Hi Glyn,
The long bonnet side strips, do the tangs bend inwards or outwards?
Regards,
Alex

 

Inwards! Toward one another. Leaves a small gap in the middle. Exactly like a paper staple.

I'm blowing this little piece of a larger photo up so much I doubt you can see. It is falling apart. Insufficient resolution/depth of field.

 

BTW ~ I keep forgetting you have a Mk2 & not an S Type. Ignore friction bushes & spears comment above. Only applies to S Type/420. The Mk2 rear chrome follows the fender line. Does not stop in a spear.






In research this is another type of centre bonnet/hood clip that Jaguar also used on the centre trim of some Mk2's
