Replacing my classic badge with this new growler badge.

 

love it....THANKS!! I wonder if he can make me one that is monochromed on the silver to match the one on the dash...I think that would look more OEM.

 

Actually, the new growler looks fantastic. I think the one with R logo has to have the logo larger in size. What do you think?

 

I emailed chaplin696@aol.com but the email was returned undeliverable. I also messaged the above facebook contact through my wife's account. If you never received my request please email me at DGL@eastlink.ca. I'm looking for a rotary upgrade, current growler, leaper, or red "EJECT", for my 2011 XKR 175 with piano black trim. Please email me with availability and price. Cheers.

 

I forwarded your message on facebook and here is his website: British Autowood | Dashboard and Woodwork Restoration give this a try. He just posted yesterday so give him another try.

 

The "R" font doesn't look quite right to me.

 

I agree.

 

Please let us know how the install went and don't forget to attach a picture. I'm on the fence pending your reply. I'm a little concern about the laminating of the growler on the black material; will the silver growler come off in pieces from wear and time as the laminate lets go?

 

The growler is embedded under an acrylic finish so there's no way to wear it off.
I swapped out the new growler but kinda miss the chrome vintage growler now! The new version is a matte silver laser cut growler and looks good with the steering wheel center but the classic is 3d and bright chrome. I'll post pics.

 

Hello,

Thanks for all your interest in these growler toppers! I have decided to tweak them a little bit to make for what I think will be a higher quality product. Rough image attached.

At the moment I am wrapping up several wood set restorations and gearing things down for a trip to the UK with my family next month, but when I return will have a stock of these for sale

Cheers,

 

Mr. Britishautowood; can you make a rotary shifter badge with the word "Jaguar" with the jag leaper over it? You have this embossed on a stick shift knob on your website. Black and/or Italian Racing Red depending on price. Nice work.

 

I like this one. I've got the older-style, busier-looking growler topper sitting in a plastic bag in my garage (I got it for free). I didn't use it because I'd already upgraded my shifter to the OEM rubber/leather option, and the older-style growler doesn't match the newer-style growler on my steering wheel, grille, etc.

 

Yes when I get back, should be able to sort something out for you.

I emailed you about the price you sent me. Please check your email. Thanks.

More to come when I get back from the UK Cheers.

 

Still would love to see an "R" shift knob imprinted in metal similar to the one on the dash of the XFR

 

I received the growler rotary shifter upgrade from Chris at Mina and it looks great!

Can't seem to attach an image or I would post it.


Thanks,

Dean

 

Here are the ones that Chris sent me a few months ago. I reinstalled them in my new Jag and they went in with a snap. I would only get these if your interested in changing out the whole knob set up.

 

I want to point out the theme that seems to be present in the interior of the XFR. When you open the car, the center screen has the R logo, and then when you turn on the car the Jaguar leaper and writing is in the center screen between the dials. Thereby, as you can see, the Jaguar leaper is indicated on one side and the R logo is indicated on the other.

If you take that to the next logical degree, the steering wheel has a jaguar growler, and the the passenger side – has the R logo embedded in the aluminum. I think it would make sense if the center dial either has the Jaguar leaper by itself or the embedded R logo on the actual metal surface of the knob.

That way, the interior would look consistent, and OEM.

 

I tried to get Chris at Mina to make the R logo for the shifter topper and my wheel center caps, but he said it just didn't look right because of the spacing around the R (the R logo being a weird shape to fit into a circle, I think he said). He sent me the Jaguar logo topper, but it was the old version, so it's just sitting in my garage. I already have the leather topper, which I really like, so I'd probably only consider the new Jag logo (which matches the one on the steering wheel) or a good-looking R logo.
