Does anyone know of a source for caliper covers for those of us driving base model XKs? I did a search and all I came up with were covers for XKRs.

 

MGP Caliper Covers

For Xk and XKRs

 

You'd really put those on your XK?

 

Thanks Hawaii,

Nice of you to respond and share. I really would hesitate to put those particular covers on my car. They are just not me . They really seem quite expensive too.

As it happens, I painted the calipers in Rust-Oleum Hammered Silver #7213. No primer or special prep needed, I did it on the car with masking tape and news paper and the calipers still look sharp 11 months later even after a pad replacement job. I recommend it.

 

High Temp Aluminum paint looks great too...............didn't even have to remove wheels when using Q Tips as a brush.

Cheers, Adrian

 

They look good to me and also act as heat sinks and cools your brakes 20-30 degrees according to the video test they did. They also suppose to reduce brake dust. Seems very easy to install. I talked to them and it's $270 to get them in red with the name Jaguar in white across them. 2weeks to make them. $15 to ship. Their phone number was hidden in the FAQ page.
Do you think black letters would look better?

 

the color sounds nice, would u happen to have any pics of this Rust-Oleum Hammered Silver #7213 on your brake calipers?
thanks in advance,
DAG

 

I'd love to help you out but unfortunately I'm such a dinosaur that the only way I can post pictures is with my wife's help and I try to keep her out of my business as much as possible. Moreover, removing 60 pound wheels at my age is another thing I avoid whenever possible.

I will say this, the calipers look factory new as opposed to modded, if that helps you.
