It's the automotive equivalent of a herpes bump on ya girl's rear there. Blegh!

Put these cheap, tacky things on Kias or mid-Aughts Chevy Tahoes.

But a foreign luxury sports car like this one?? Hell no!

I think you should charge them $10k per year for advertising. Will help with the depreciation. All kidding aside it looks and is atrocious.

This should make you feel better. No bumps here!

Yea, I can see it now:

"Welcome to the forum Stuart S. This is the X150 forum. I've moved your post to the E Type (XK-E) forum.

Thanks, Graham"

Nah, should be ok, it's one of my favorites on the 'Girls on Jaguars' thread of the 'Off Topic' forum:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/o...s-2185/page48/

peterv8's signature quote sure is appropriate "There is no substitute for cubic inches!".

That pic has been in the Jaguars with girls thread for awhile... I think Stuart is safe... besides who doesn’t like Jaguars and beautiful women, they just go hand and hand....

My XK had a Honda dealer on it.

Their placement is just off, I would rather it be centered above the Jaguar logo.

Nothing irrational about that, my XK also had a dealer sticker on it right below the XK badge. It came off within a few days of purchase, I don't really understand why they'd put something like that on a car like this, as it's obvious it'll be removed ASAP.

Because far more of them end up staying for the life of the vehicle giving the dealer free advertising. Those dumb emblems and especially the decals have a great return on investment.

Love that photo! She can put that seat on my seat any day. I see that model comes with hi-beams as standard equipment package.

Yep, I copied that photo from the "Girls on Jaguars" thread. It's been there for so long that I figured it didn't violate the Forum rules.

I'm surprised that it gave rise to so many responses!
