The wrap looks well done, on that light of a silver it's not my favorite.

IMO, this would look much better if you removed the Jaguar letters under the leaper and the 3.0 and just had the XJ and the leaper like how they had it pre-2013.

Personally don't care for it, but it's your car. May look better with a darker color.

Cool looking! Have you do the same wrap elsewhere on the car?

I think it would look better gloss black, together with a gloss black roof wrap, to match the factory blacked-out C pillars:



Who did your wrap and what did it cost?

I think it looks great. I haven seen that before in a jag. Really seems to work, ESP on your color. I have a white 911 and recently just wrapped the same area with black matte. However, I agree with the last poster, on your car I really think it looks great but needs to be gloss black to match the pillars. I'd say keep it on a while and if you really like it, get it sprayed black gloss at a shop.

It's car skins at marietta who did it. I am a regular customer here.. previously got em done on my 2013 Infi too!

Roof top is up in the list and yes I would go with gloss black!

You don't have to do it, but that's what I would do! If I get another XJ it would be a 2016+ SC and I'd immediately un-badge to match my 2011. I love people asking what car it is because no one knows and it's not plastered all over.

You have any pictures of the sides and front? Would love to see the whole thing.

I'm an old conservative guy so I could not go in this direction but it's your automobile and you can do whatever pleases you. Enjoy.
