Center cap inquiry
 
Found a set of sharp center caps in BRG my question on Amazon hasn't fielded me the answer I seek, so I will check with the pros here lol.




The description says " X-type & S-type" if not compatible does anyone know where to find BRG center caps.

Thanks

This is the new style and can be found at the dealers and e-bay.

when ordering any cap you need to know your whole size, The ad states will fit the x-type but in the questions he says they are 40mm. My x-type with factory wheels is 54mm.
Take out your cap and measure you center hole. It is really the only way to guaranty they fit.

King Charles,

I agree with Vern that you should measure your center caps, but I am fairly certain you will find that they are 40mm.

I believe the center caps are all the same size on the XJ40, X300, X308, X350, X358 and S-Type. For example, I am currently using XJ40 center caps on the X358 wheels on our X350. :)

Since the X-Type is built on a modified Ford chassis, I'm not surprised to hear that Vern's center caps are a different size than those on the cars with Jaguar-developed chassis. I think the Amazon seller is mistaken that his caps will fit both the X-Type and S-Type.

If you search eBay or Amazon for caps that fit an S-Type or any XJ from 1988 to 2010, I am fairly sure they will be the right size for your X308.

Cheers,

Don

Yes & that BRG is spot on, most of the others online are light, almost lime green. My E-Bay account is limited due to an unjust dispute, & I have yet to speak with a tangible English speaking rep. to rectify it lol.

I love the dark-green (if true), never found it so far.

But man, what a prices, I paid US. 8.00 for a set of 4 on Taobao, the Chinese e-bay (not the green though).

Can confirm that if you have Jaguar OEM wheels, they will fit.

Do also want to warn you that these caps are rather cheap looking compared to the beautiful Jaguar 3D ones.
I decided to re-condition those, got a thread on that (think they made it a sticky).

I bought my green ones from Welsh Enterprises for my XK8 with green side leapers. Perfect match. I also bought black for my x-type from them. Very reasonable. And they are OEM.
