I sadly had to have hood and fender replaced, I'm pretty sure the dealership used aftermarket parts. I'm wondering if OEM replacements have any stampings or are marked in some visible way so that I can confirm my suspicions before confronting the crooks. Hood flutters in the wind like tin foil...needless to say I've reached my boiling point! Any info is greatly appreciated as always..

 

I just had a look at the underside of the bonnet (hood) and the mounting rails on front wings (fenders) and there are no numbers or markings at all, unless there are some under the bonnet insulation.


That of course is on my 98 XJR, which as far as its history shows, is all original.

 

I actually doubt that there are any aftermarket body panels for these cars... I mean, the market for aftermarket parts is so small on these cars, that probably even Jaguar doesn't stock them properly anymore.
