Not for everyone but got these hood vents from my Jag Dealer. Also ordered this minor detail upgrade for the rear. Should be here tomorrow....will post once installed.

Here's the hood vents:

 

That's cool!

 

OMG! Something else to polish???? Just kidding. Those make a statement! I like.

 

I like those...do you know the part number?

 

Sure...according to the box the part number is: C2P20035XXX

On Jaguar's website, it's under their accessories page (last item on the page): http://www.jaguar.com/us/en/#/owner_...es/xk/exterior

It comes in 2 pieces...the outer ring and the inner mesh with the chrome strip. You will need to paint the outer ring to your specific color. Once painted, you just install the two pieces together. To remove the current vent, you just losen the tab from inside the hood and the new one you install from the outside.

I was able to get a discount from my dealer but if you can't, I remember seeing a dealer selling them on Ebay include painting to your specific color for a decent price.

Jaguar USA might call your dealer saying these vents are for 2010 models and might not fit 2007-2009 XKRs but it should fit as mine did perfectly.


On Jaguar's accessory page, I wonder what the "XKR Performance Aerodynamic Pack" looks like. Would be interesting to see what the kit comes with.

Hope this helps!

 

BTW...I've seen some aftermarket ones that the entire vent was chrome. I thought it was alittle too much for me but if you're interested I can send the link.

 

With a couple of pieces of chrome (hood vent, side blade and chrome lip on the wheels), I went ahead and purchase the chrome trunk blade from the XK. For some reason I like the chrome look better than the aluminum that came standard with the XKR.
