Gang,

Someone got me a $1k gift certificate with Jag. What are the best accessories known and unknown to get?

I would like more aggressive trim as I have tan interior and burl walnut. I'd like some piano to break up the wood. Or do an aluminum or carbon kit.

What else should I consider?

 

Get 50 Jagaur coffee travel mugs!

If it were me, I'd just save it up for service! Or tires!

 

Use it on service.

Clothing or "lifestyle accessories" are a safe bet.

 

Aren't tires super high at dealer? Or about the same?

Clothing... How much of any car logo clothing can one wear without looking obnoxious ;-)

 

I vote for the Aluminum Spun trim in the interior if you are seeking to make a change. I have it in my 2009 XKR Portfolio Edition, and prefer that over the wood trim.

Otherwise, I agree with the others, save the $1000 for service items. Oil changes in New Mexico at the Jag dealer are $120.00 each.

Enjoy the gift certificate, that was a nice one.

 

I vote for the carbon fiber interior. What do just the parts cost though? Labor intensive too?
It would look hot in your car!

 

If the certificate works with land rover you can get the larger alloy shift paddles

 

I didn't know there was any Carbon trim option! Service is no good as my car came with 5 years of service as well.

 

How about putting that $1,000 towards the Jaguar R Performance Academy? If you've already completed the Basic Course, you can take the Advanced Course. Here's the link: Jaguar Performance Driving Academy

Where else can you drive someone else's XKR like you stole it and not get arrested?

 

I concur with Stuart S.
Why waste a gift on service, when you can have fun.

Enjoy your gift certificate to its fullest. Do you already have the car cover? driving gloves? favourite driving glasses? A driving course is FUN!

 

If it's your 1st Jag, I'd spend it all on Viagra! You'll be needing it!

 

I will go to the R academy.

 

OOH! I just thought of something. Get the ACM (audio connectivity module) if you don't already have one.
