It' spring! I added some accesories.
I saw a member was adding these in the XF photo section a couple of months back and liked the "dead pedal." I got a set of these sent from China on Ebay and they are really nice for $53.00 US.
You need a drill for the install.

I also went all out and got these metal valve stem caps for $6.00 on Amazon. I think they are nicer than the $13 plastic ones from the dealer.

I put them on when I had the snow tires removed, so they were balanced on the wheel. I have not had any low air issues referenced in the post were the tire blew off racing a Mercedes.
I really am considering a XFR style color matched spoiler, otherwise this car is perfect for my taste. I think it is fuctional but understated. I'm going to look at some XFR's to sell me on the spoiler

I wouldnt leave those metal caps on. If you must go find some Aluminum caps or maybe even add a dab of never sieze. In my shop over the years I have seen many of the metal caps get seized on and when you go to take them off they just snap off without much pressure.
Yes, Jaguar forbids this. It instructs it's dealers to replace them with plastic caps if an XF comes into their shop under warranty. Given the known failures you are dicing with death leaving those metal caps on. Aluminum valve stems will corrode solid onto any metal caps including aluminum caps. You MUST use plastic valve caps.
