Default Custom Rear boot plinth

Decided before I had car painted that I wanted the chrome raised letters on my painted boot plinth. Since mine was chrome, I couldn't have it painted seeing that so many older models want the new style. So I got the old style, had it painted with the car, also installed a button underneath so I can open boot, and the used the new J A G U A R letters. I had to sand the top and bottoms to fit the curve but its a great way to update!! Custom Rear boot plinth-image.jpg
Also added a badge so I had a place to close boot and not get hand prints!! The first few years came with the badge from factory.
