Default Growler centre cap badges

Would love to have a set of centre cap badges to match the front growler on the grill, think they would look nice. Anyone know can someone make them, possibly vinyl and gel coating.

I thought all F-Types came from the factory with "growler" wheel centre caps?
If you need news ones and/or different coloured ones there are literally hundreds of sets for sale on eBay, see here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...ap&_sacat=6000
Black, red, blue, green, yellow, old design - all sorts!
The common cheapy Chinese ones are OK, I have used a few over the years.
Only two problems with them - the Jaguar lettering/font is in the "old" script, and most of them don't fit fully tight. Easy fixed though, just wrap two rounds of black insulation tape around the prongs.
There are also some listings for the OEM caps but they can be quite expensive and usually still in the old font.
But none that I know of that are a "perfect match" for the grille badge design.

Haven't found a set in black with the newer growler logo. Well, I did find these which are being sold in black with the new logo https://www.raymaxgear.com/collectio...t=122019282945

As a person who completely loves lights - you should see my bicycle, I don't want to get hit - I say no, no, a thousand times no. I'd rather die than say yes to led lit center caps on an F-Type.

IMO only - but damn.

I might be missing something, but those non-led option ones are $12-20 on Ebay.

Now if they would do a group buy on Jaquar-emblemed coasters I'd be in! https://www.raymaxgear.com/products/...ultiply-brands

That would really jazz up that boring dual-drink holder.

Yeah, there is no way I'd put the LED centercaps on, but they do make them without the LED. I have yet to see any other black centercap with the newer growler logo though.

As for the cup holder LED coaster, Jaguar logo ones are available via eBay.uk
