Can someone suggest a good place to get XF trunk badges, prefer OEM but don't want to pay outrageous dealer price.

 

Try parts.com - the Jaguar and Land Rover parts are actually supplied by a JLR dealership but their Internet pricing was very good last time I checked and shipping was pretty much next day.

 

They have the XF badge but not the R-S badge.
Thanks for the info.

 

Ah you didn't hint you were doing badge engineering.

I know that in order to get some of the more exotic JLR parts from a dealer you have to provide a valid VIN for that vehicle, which may explain it not being online. I guess you may have better luck on eBAY.

 

Search EBay for "XF badge"

You can find real badges fairly resonable, just make sure you look at the pics for the EOB labels and part numbers.

 

Not doing badge engineering.
Just bought a XFR-S and previous owner debadged the trunk lid
While some may like it, I am not a fan of the debadged look.

 

Nice!

Try reaching out to Ruben Reyes <rreyes@jlrsanjuantx.com> at the dealership that fulfils parts.com orders and see if he can help you. Like I said, you may need to provide a VIN from your XFR-S to validate the order.

I too am not a fan of dental floss mods ;-)

 

Me neither, particularly with the XF. Older Jaguar sedans were instantly recognizable by their shape from 100 yards away, but not the modern ones. All modern sedans have very similar shapes; there have been discussions on this forum around many theories why whether its fuel economy standards or various safety regulations. But with so many similar shaped sedans, the average person has to get close enough to read the badges before he'd recognize its a Jaguar, so yes, put the badges back on it.

 

Plus if it's an R-S you should flaunt it! How is it?

 

Had it for about 24 hours and it is amazing.
Dramatically different than even XFR

 

It is a f#%&&*ing beast.

 

Got this one sitting in garage.
2012 XFR 58k miles.
Need to get rid of it.
Don't know if it is appropriate on forum, but it is for sale.
30k is what I want for it.
