def not standard, and I def would not spend all that money just to get a s/c vented hood. It might be possible that the car got into an accident and had the body shop quote a s/c hood to the insurance company?

 

Anyway you can post the listing on here?

 

Possible and still somewhat of a mystery.......All front end parts have original vin numbers...Strange.

 

It is possible that the past owner had the hood cut for the s/C vent though, that's a cheaper way to do it.

 

Clear Carfax and VIN Check as well Hmmmmmm????

 

anything is possible but that would be manically ****.....if that was the case why isnt there added supercharged badging??? Also why didnt he just spend a few extra $$$ and get the S/C.....????
The sticker on the car is almost $65 the way it was optioned...

 

Just purchased it!!!!!!!! Couldnt resist!!!!

 

$37k 18,000 MILES

 

Congratulations! You'll love it.

 

Thank you!!!!!!

 

Supercharged or not that's a fantastic looking car. Congrats

 

Hi XKGuy, I own a 2012 jaguar XF. I'm sure that it is a normal XF which is the base or portfolio. The supercharged version have a badge that says "supercharged" on the right of the rear. I guess they modify the hood and the supercharged have quad exhaust. Normal xf doesnt have vented hood but might have the XF sport bodykit like the one you showed us (not the XFR, the front is different).

 

Anyone know if a used Jaguar Smart Key can be dealer reprogrammed?

 

Not the old style, XF's XK's with the starter control unit (key sucker). New style smart keys can. 2013 on. And also older model XJ's XK's S-Type X-Type

 

2012 XF Portfolio cannot? Correct

 

I can't remember off the top of my head if the 12's have the old smart key style or not. Old smart key style is the fob with two chrome side blades at each side and the emergency key inserted at one end. New key style is one chrome side blade which houses the emergency key. What is the reason why you are asking? About the reprogramming in particular.

 

The XF I just purchased has only 1 fob a friend has an extra fob from a 12 XF cheaper to reprogram then pay for a new key plus reprogram.

 

You can tell the dealer to try it but be prepared to pay for a new one if it doesn't work. I've never been able to. There is a trick on the older style key fobs but I don't know any tricks for the smart keys.

 

Congratulations!! Looks like a terrific car
Make sure you get the old missing key removed from the car system!

 

The 12s have the old style smart key.
