My hood liner has been sagging a while about to fall off. When my overflow tank broke and shot coolant all over it that didnt help it any. So I got a new one with the R logo. What do you guys think?
Before


After


Looks alot better now.

 

Very nice vance. There'll come a day when we'll all sag...and need a lift.

 

Nice Vance

 

Very nice! How did you get the R logo??

 

Vance looks great!! Who did you purchase the liner from?

 

Lookn sharp! Nicely done bro. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that one before I bought a used one off in a junk yard when I purchased my car. How much did that cost you? Liners aren't cheap, b/c I tried getting one for the R, and it was costing around $250 plus back then, don't know how much it's now.

 

Would everyone be shocked if I said it was only 100? I actually found a link to it using the search found this post.

I clicked on Gonzo Duque and shot him an email through his blog. Very quick response. I saw the R logo on the blog on an XKR and told him that was the logo I wanted and wanted it in red. Sent the money on Sat recieved it by Thurs. Very nice product definitly beats a stock liner. I tried to not go to heavy on the glue its not as formed as I could get it so if anyone gets one you can go a little more then light on the glue. I definitly cant complain looks way better. The guy actually lives about 10 minutes from where I'm from in Michigan. If I had a trip planned there which I dont anytime soon I would of took it over there and got it. He only has a template for a 2005+ S type so anyone with one pre 05 will have to email him and I guess he can make one from either your old liner or he suggests getting a dollar store shower curtain and tracing it for a template.

 

Nice liner ,color also looks very fit

 

That guy does a great job and the materials are much better than stock. Someone found he was offering that for the XK and XJ guys. He will make one for just about any car but he does not have all the patterns yet. Someone sent him an S Type hood liner and he now offers that as well.

Yup, gonzo's liner is pretty nice, its a step up (or several flights actually) above the OEM. It'll last forever, and so easy to clean too! This one was ordered w/o the original mounting holes, the old fasteners are not needed, and 90% of them broke apart when trying to remove. Yes Vance, I agree...don't be shy with the glue, and get it on every square inch of the liner back, so you can mold it to every curve under that bonnet.

 

Can someone post or PM me this guy's contact info. I need a hood liner for my 500sl. The stock ones disintegrate into nothing.

What glue are you guys using for this?

Thanks in advance,

George

 

Here is his blog.
Aircraft firewall material hood liner pad for Mustang, Corvette, Grand National, many other cars
He has his contact info on there so you can email him about the 500sl. The glue is listed on the blog also its a 3M spray adhesive number 80 I believe. All the info in on his blog hope that helps you for your SL.

 

Sent him an email for my 03. I'll see about sending him a trace/pattern so us 03-04 STR guys have an option.

I'm just going with a silver R. Like your red R though...

 

American;
Thanks for that! The more patterns he can get the more cars will be offered. I had my 2005 STR hood liner replaced under warranty and it was almost $600 from Jaguar!!!

red with the red intake is perfect, didn't even notice it first time I saw this

 

Wow Looking great Vance.. especially with the Mafioso air intake.
i was going to do a same thing but with the Dynamat Hood liner (with reflective side and high temperature absorption. but this is much nicer...

 

I'm the guy who makes those liners! It came out great, thanks for posting the pics!

Still need to obtain an original liner to make a template for the S-Type up to 2004, I do have the 2005 to 2008 S-Type.

 

Thanks again Gonzo. The red "R" was a perfect match to my intake and now it ties in the red without being too flashy.

 

I have a 05 I would like one with the white jaguar like in the pic shown. Can you do that on the 05 s type?

 

He can. Go to the blog link posted in reply#12 and it has how to order. I have an 05 so it would be the same liner. The decal is added after you install it so its put on by you once its installed and glued down.
