Default Red Growler Badge for 2012 XKR?

Well I screwed up! I went on Ebay an ordered a Red Growler Badge for my XKR and got it today in the mail and it's 70 mm and the one on the car is larger, probably 85mm. I know this has been covered on the XF forum but I did not see anything related to an XKR. After looking up the part number on the one I just received it is for a 2008-2011 XF. I called my local Jag dealer and they were of no help what so ever......... I'm sure there are ways you can modify the one on the car but I would really rather have an OEM part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S. The dealer said they only list part numbers not colors, dimensions or pictures!

P.S.S. I just looked at the order slip and it says it's for the XJR so I went out and compared it to the one on my XJL and it's the same size. The XKR's is larger! Maybe I'll put it on the XJL. Anyways if anyone has put a Red Growler Badge on the front of there XKR let me know. Thanks.

Like this? Unfortunately it was ordered by the dealer that way. And it is in Oz. I could call them and ask though, I just bought a car from them.

There is only Carnelian and Italian Racing Red for the 2014 models which is when the red badges started.

I already have those on the car. I had the calipers painted red and thought the red grille badge would top it off. I'll post pics once done.

Darn, missed it by a year! I did opt for the red wheel center badges, but the red grill badge was not an option in 2013.

Hmmm, that's good looking. What do you think of the red badges on a green car??

Cheers!

The Jag F1 team used metallic green with red highlights, so there's a precedent:

I say go for it Guy! If you don't like it you can change them back. Not that much out of pocket as far as expense.

This is what Jaguar should've put on the back of the car instead of the hooky leaper (and now with Jaguar written under it)...

Jaguar should not be so desperate to let everyone know what brand car it is. The shape says enough to those who may actually consider one:
