Angry Someone stole my trunk-button badge :( Have a spare?

Someone stole my trunk-button badge, the little 1" round one that you press to open the trunk

The button still works just fine, but it is now a recessed plain black plastic circle with a small hole in the middle.

Anyone have a spare round-badge that I can stick on? Looking on eBay there are only sellers offering the whole button assembly.

Junk yard or Pick-A-Part. That is where I got mine, and several other parts while out there!

Check with the guy whose site I have linked below. He has a plethora of XJ parts @ the best rates. Even if you don't see it listed, contact him as he likely has it stored somewhere.

Godspeed


Everyday XJ

+1 on this. Picked up the VDP grille, rear boot trim, and a leaper for a reasonable price. Good service, reasonable $$$ (or UKP or Euro or...)

I thought they all were green? Did they come in different colors?

I always thought it was interesting/odd that mine is green when the car's colors are Titanium & Nimbus Grey, and even the wheel centers are gray. That button is the only green thing on the car other than the rear Jaguar and XJR badges, which is why I thought it was green on purpose.

BTW, I wonder if yours was stolen or it just rusted/popped off. Seems like an odd and finicky thing to steal.

Green and Grey. The glue that they used is weak and falls off. Mine fell off but landed in my driveway!
