Thinking of using the lettering commonly found on the rear.

If you really want to be ahead of the curve, why not see if someone can 3D print you some letters using the "new" logo (Below)?

Not suggesting that the letters be in white, just one of the images I could find.

Just my humble opinion... It's busy enough already upfront.

For the full effect maybe use backward letters so when you run up behind someone on the road they can read Jaguar in their rear view mirror?
Kinda like the ambulances do.

Definitely not on the front. And on the back, the letters should be spread further apart when they are alone and in the middle like that.

I think you are crossing the line where it starts to look too "aftermarket". Not to my taste but visual mods are very subjective like that.

It came out better than I thought. I might try to make the grill match better with that rectangular ACC radar window. Otherwise, along with the amber reflectors, the front is done.

Yes, the idea was taken from a prototype 2026 XF or XJ. Not sure which. I'm happy with the result on my 2019 XJL.
