The hood specs should be identical so I was thinking of getting a vented hood for my XF, but I cannot find a source. Any ideas?

 

You can have the vents fitted to your own bonnet

 

I thought about that, but it'd mean cutting into the hood. And if I was going to do that, I could do something different altogether.

 

Threadjack....anyone ever see those XFR hood vents in carbon fiber?

 

Yep, Mina Gallery do them, see here: https://minagallery.com/jaguar-xfr-c...-hood-louvers/

How about this https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...2e762d9aeGBl5t

 

I have never ordered through alibaba, heard it was the wish version of Amazon. That seems pretty cheap too. Maybe cheap enough to try?

 

That listing seems to be for an entire CF bonnet/hood and not just the hood vents.
At $100 it is most definitely "too good to be true", and I wonder about the shipping/postage cost for such a large item, my guess is that the $100 price is click bait and the postage cost would be horrendous (at least $1,000).

 

I've bought several things for my Jag there. I got a rear splitter that I have never seen elsewhere.

And I got lot more for my saab. I agree with OZ that shipping coudl be crazy. But a lot of times thye have made a bunch of something with no buyers and they try to get rid of them.

 

The hood vents are CF from the factory on my XJR. Also the engine cover and all the interior trim. No wood anywhere.
Plus the Supercharged is painted body color.





So Jaguar would also be a source but probably way expensive!
I have the basic part number as C2P22386XXX right side and C2P22387XXX for the left side. But I don't know what the color codes are for the XXX? NEL is for the white color and it does say Supercharged. These will all say Supercharged regardless of the color or material. I don't see any part numbers on the back of my vents either.
Price about $150 each
