as promised, here are the pictures of my ' spare ' XJS HE ( pre-facelift ) sill covers
they are brand new, bought by myself from Jaguar when still available while i was collecting spares for my own restoration , and are now surplus to requirement for my own car,
as can be seen in the reflection , these are as near mint as you will ever find , unless you buy new from jag, which you can't atm IMG_2352 by MyPix on Talk Photography
in original packaging as supplied from jaguar IMG_2349 by MyPix on Talk Photography
and some ' beauty shots ' IMG_2351 by MyPix on Talk Photography
these are the separate top cover etched stainless sections with 3M tape on the back( once fitted never to be removed without damage ( trust me , i know ) IMG_2354 by MyPix on Talk Photography
i even have some ' Jaguarsport ' ones IMG_2353 by MyPix on Talk Photography

i will add, that these HE sill covers are longer than the later facelift one, which due to the shape of the a pillar bottom trim is around 2" shorter , so in theory , these can be carefully cut to fit the later short one, as other than length there is zero difference in them

Where did you find these?? They are exactly what I need..!!!
Center logo is still intact but chrome trim is what is needed..
As a former type designer, I'm appalled at the way 'Sport' is used.
There is no regard to caps and lower case, the spacing sucks and the type face is inconsistent from letter to letter.
It looks like the Jaguar design shop went on a break and some suit bodged something together.
I have been searching around myself, if I come across something will let you know
polished approx. 8 inches of my passenger door sill using Mothers aluminum polish and soft ( no lotion ) Walmart face tissue. the same way i polish the seat belt retainers i sell on Ebay. anyhow, took me approx. 20 minutes to do the section . much better than before. some deep scrathes can still be seen in certain light angles but overall i'm satisfied with the results.
have a long way to go ! i spend a lot of time on my red cars !
I have a complete set of OEM sill plates. They are still in the original box. They were purchased from a Jaguar dealer in the UK about 6 years ago.
Make me an offer. I have all of the plastic clips.
Ive had decent results using an orbital polisher and rubbing compound with an orange pad
On the driver side, the scratches were much more significant in both number and intensity, so i went with the yellow abrasive pad - big mistake. That almost took off the jaguar script. I'll have to get my other phone to find that pic
Brother!
That's impressive.
I would have never thought of it!
Thank you!!!

Are these for a coup or convertible?

Are your sill in the shape on the right. This is from a 1992 xjs convertible in the US?
I am looking for the set..
Chrome tread plates
