Default New member - 2020 XF Sportbrake S - in Virginia

How is this for the most basic question.

How do I find out what color my car is? Really. It is grey / silver - ish and I can find no designation on the car as to the color or color code. Ooops.


thanks

John.

Welcome to the forums John,

Look for a manufacturer's sticker towards the bottom of the left hand B pillar. Three letter paint code should be on there. Post the code back here for a decode.

The US models ( and perhaps ROW) have an extra plate in the drivers door that spells out the paint name also. That looks like Gallium (sp?) silver to us.



BTW there are two FB groups dedicated to the Sportbrake. The North American Group will allow you in but you must have a sportbrake as in their words there are plenty of Jaguar Forums so they wish to focus on one model. I think they have about 100 participants. We met the administrator at the last tail of the dragon run for the F types. Super guy and yes he ran his Brake and did well.

One of our patrons just sent these---they said the pics are difficult to take as they are located between the doors at the B post.--

Mystery (and/or incompetence) resolved.

Thank you all for the assistance. Tag/sticker was as the bottom of the Drives Side B-Pillar just as described. And also found date of manufacture was March of 2020.

The 2020 XF Sportbrake S is in fact "Silicon Silver" (Code 1BN)

My excuse - this is the first Jaguar I have owned in 60 years!

MosThey started hunting one after seeing one at one of our events. Hope you know those are very RARE in the US.
