Jaguar Enthusiasts,

I have a burning question, so I thought I'd turn to the experts.

My 2005 S Type has a License Plate bracket mounted to the front bumper, even though the car has always lived in a no front license plate state.

Anyway, it's there, so I need to put something on it.

I've narrowed it to two, the English flag (St. George's Cross) or the British Union Jack. Is my Jag an ENGLISH car, or a BRITISH car?

Beats me. The 3.0 is a Ford engine and Jaguar were owned by Ford then so maybe it's American?

Are bad guys going to do anything nasty if they see a non-American flag, I wonder.

(hmm, will they even know the flag of St George LOL)

 

I would take it to a body shop and have the holes filled and sprayed. Or there is a company that makes licesne plate hole covers that you could have painted to match vehicle and slide them in (google them). Much cleaner look without any type of front plate.

 

The Jag is a Briitish Car.

 

I would have them filled and spray like Rick said. If you only have 2 holes then you can go the plug route. Mine had about 5 holes and 2 alignment indents in mine so my only choice was to get them filled and resprayed.



I was running this front plate till I got it resprayed which was just a nice simple plate.

 

WOW whose chromed out S Type is that to the left in the picture! That has got to be really sharp!

 

Not much chance of that. Americans haven't had much of a beef with England since around 1815.

If our Soccer (Football) team gets to the point of being competative with England it could pose something of a problem then.

 

Nearly 200 years! No worries, then.

 

The 3.0 wasn't pure Ford, it was comprised of a Ford Duratec short block with pure Jag heads. Too bad many states require front license plates.

 

Beautiful front grilles. I think that may be my next project, they look so much better than stock.

 

Thanks but they are stock grills. I have an R so those are what the stock R grills look like. Now I have Mina lower grills after the repaint so it looks alot better.
