XK 2007 Antenna Retrofit + Body Cap

Hello guys, I'm looking to retrofit my XK's extendable antenna with that of the later model(s) that is integrated into the body. I'm also looking for a body cap to cover the hole where my extendable antenna used to be. I tried searching myself, but I've no experience because I'm new to the Jaguar world.

Where can I buy the parts? Will these parts work "right out of the box"? Thank you very much.

No replies probably because there's no aftermarket kit and it's not worth the cost to do it. Just pull the fuse to the antenna. But if you must, here's how to do it:

yeah... tried the rubber whip extension in the air diffuser trick. (Includes pulling the antennae fuse) Then WAS going to go to the body shop to patch the hole.
BUT Reception was horrific. AND my daughter (who is the boss) claimed she liked the retro antennae.

The outcome: All back to normal and stock.
