Just bought a new set of car mats for my car, the old ones are actually in really decent shape and I'll keep them for work days and as winter mats I guess.
The new ones are actually pretty awesome, really nice pile and a bang on 100% excellent fit specifically for the LWB model, they really fill the floor space perfectly, have the correct hole spacings and seem really well made, see here from Ultimate car mats....


I haven't been able to find car mats with the JAGUAR logo added except from the dealer at extortionate pricing, even then not really what I want, so....

I also purchased these from Ebay, actually a grille badge, see below....


The mats are already here and test fitted, 100% perfect and very pleased.
Once the badges arrive, the plan is to check for fitting ( they will be added between the holes near the rear of the mat, horizontally )
I plan to drill holes through and attach them, then button them up for a nice tight fit and hopefully a customised look / finish

 

Ha! I did the exact same thing with the exact same badges! Last year I scored a set of OEM lambswool mats, but the driver side has the Daimler logo, so I used of those badges to cover it up. I didn't want to cut into the mat, so I just stuck it on with the supplied double-sided tape. Covers the logo perfectly. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the spare badge (came as a set). Great minds think alike.

 

I got the lambswool factory matts for $347.00 front & rear from jaguarpartsplace on ebay for my 06 Super 8.

JAGUAR XJ LWB 05-09 LAMBSWOOL FLOOR MAT SET MOCHA C2C33849AMB C2C22385AMB

They have all the flint grey factory color. It has the factory logo.

 

Finished article on the car mats, not the best pics but you get the idea, turned out really well I thought...
