Default Extra set of caliper covers! Anyone interested?

I ordered a set of custom Jaguar MGP caliper covers, taking a chance they would fit my 2002 as they only offer for 96-99, and they did! After I installed, I rethought the black letters and re ordered a set with white letters.
Well, I was right the first time. Black on my black car and black wheels was the way to go so now I've got an extra set of red with white JAGUAR logo. I paid 310.00 but selling for 200.
They take about 5 minutes each to install once you have the wheel off. I don't know if they fit after a 2002 XK8 or if they fit the XKR. Neither does MGP so no point in calling! They didn't know if they would fit my 2002!! I have a thread "MGP caliper covers" that shows installation pics or youtube has several vids too.
PM me if interested!!Extra set of caliper covers! Anyone interested?-image.jpg

Tell you what, for $50, I'll take those puppies off of your hands.

Forgot to tell what these are made of.
They're machined aluminum with machine engraved lettering, powder coated and hand polished. They have custom designed mounting brackets that come with clips that simply slip over the outer non moving edges of the calipers and bolt to those.
They've been extensively tested and do not cause brake fade and actually help transfer heat due to being aluminum.
These are not the fake plastic brembo style. Very high quality and look great once installed. The color is classic caliper red. The photo looks a bit bright. My wheel photo is more accurate.

I'd actually pay full price for them if I could afford them, but a student's salary isn't much help. Tell you what, I'll give you $35 for each caliper.

^Wow, I don't know many students in Europe who receive a salary and drive around in a Jag

Philhef, why don't you just put them on eBay?

I'm not in Europe, I do receive a salary, but it's from the athletic department of my university. I drive around in a Jag because my father's gone mad.

What made you think I'm in Europe?

He doesn't think you're in Europe. He lives in Europe. Thus his familiarity with European students and what they can and cannot afford....

Well, they sold already but if it falls through, I'll let everyone know.
I like where the thread has gone though!!
Heck, I drove a Porsche 928 in college, worked and still had $ to live on!! My dad gave me the car but I had to keep it up and pay insurance.
