Default Jaguar black or machine / alloy looking center caps?

All I see are used beat up ones on Ebay and the plastic black and chrome ones.

Does anyone know of any either all black or machine or alloy metal looking ones?

I have bought several sets from this guy. Check his listings out. I actually bought these and popped out black centers and attached to my new wheel machined centers.

So the black part of these caps pops out and you put them over your other rim caps? What did you use to hold them on? Have a picture of your finished product?

I actually used pliers and broke the plastic chrome outer edge away and then used a knif and carefully pried it off I put tape over knive.
Used j b weld two part epoxy and pressed it on the factory center cap. Mine happened to fit perfectly. Jaguar black or machine / alloy looking center caps?-image.jpg

These are a metal disk in a plastic bezel. They look like titanium. I have a set I'm putting on my XF. Really cool!

Can you send me the link for these?

And Phil, you are the aftermarket MAN! We seem to have the same tastes, feel free to post anything else you have come across.

Here's one for ya, I'm making these for my new wheels. A little bigger than factory, but I want something totally unique for my new wheels and paint.
XJS bonnet badges with the outer chrome ring from the new growler. It pops off.
Sanded back flat and epoxied to the XJS growler. Then I'm drilling out my centers that came with wheels and bolting them down with two part epoxy clay to adhere between.
