I agree.........Just ordered the red center caps and will order the red grille badge on thursday when they arrive at forum sponsor Barrett Motor Cars....

 

Will also remove that ghastly front plate and replace with painted plastic plugs. A project that i have done previously on an XK...Hillman plastic rivets..3 coats Rhodium Silver and 2 coats clearcoat...It breaks my heart that they drill 5 holes into a beautiful bumper for a license plate bracket...Horrible!!!!!!!

 

Completely agree about the front license plate. The only other modification I've made to my XF Sport was adding the XFR rear valance (it has the fins) and it really improved the sportiness of the rear end.

I agree the license plate is ugly on the front, but I put mine on after I purchased the car. Anyone who lives where they are mandatory (they are here in CA) is just asking for issues from the local police or highway patrol by not having one on the vehicle. I don't need to have had 2 drinks while out at dinner and give the police a reason to pull me over and give me a field sobriety test. Be happy if you live in a place with no such laws...and 93 octane

 

Thanks to the excellent staff at Sng Barratt red grille emblem installed. Love it...Thanks to Mike and team. Excellent prices and friendly professional service.

 

Center Red Wheel Caps as well. My 12 has been transformed to a 14!!! LOL

 

 

Anyone no the difference between the less than $20 ones on eBay an SNG Barratt? Didn't see a black one on Barratt, does anyone know if they have black?
Thanks.

 

The items on ebay are passable but definitely of lesser quality.
Give Mike a call at Barrett I'm certain they can assist you and be assured of friendly professional service at half the price of my Jaguar dealer. Best of luck! !

 

The red center wheel caps and grill badge look great!
Congrats XKGuy!!

 

Thank you Sir. I'm pleased with them. Easy aesthetic change.

 

I would like to see this thing lit up red and pulse like the starter button ....

do these just pop out or do you have to remove the grill?

 

They are affixed with adhesive only. I removed my old one using a very small screw driver used for eye glasses and gently pried around the edges enough to place the spray straw of a can of WD-40 and spray the solvent down the back of the badge. I let it sit for about 15 minutes to dissolve the rest of the adhesive. Worked like a charm. Caution: as you are prying around the edges, place a cloth or something similar around the edges to prevent scratches/dents.
Before mounting the new badge, thoroughly clean off the WD-40 so the surface is clean and dry. I wiped the area with alcohol and it worked great. Good luck!

 

I need this one.

@Bruce and Sandra I need this badge in my life.

Is the entire badge printed or are the glasses printed to stick on top of an existing badge?

 

Printed just the glasses without the sides then applied automotive glue
