Default hub cap color availabilty
I just noticed the other day that my right front hub cap is missing. I've looked everywhere for a matching hub cap cover color to no avail. I have a blue 2002 X type 2.5 and my hub cap cover is a turquiose bluish color. I asked a guy from ebay who specializes in hub caps and he said that jaguar does not make a turquiose bluish hubcap.And the onlycolors i've seen are green, black, grey, and red. i dont want to go to a dealer and pay my arms and legs just for a hubcap. Any ideas or places that might have it? i've checked the thread on "where do you guys buy your parts" and checked all the links and none of those places have the same color that i'm looking for to match my current ones. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe it is just faded. My green hub caps have faded to a blue-green color.

My guess is the green one. We don't stock them, but about $24 from Jaguar.

how to change the cap. do we need to remove the well and do the change from inside or it is from outside and use just a screw drive to pop up?

If you are very careful, you can remove them from the outside with a thin blade.
