Default Original center caps???

Originally my car had green center caps on the wheels that looked like the badge on the nose cone...i.e.: corregated metal fan background with green transparent 'enamel' over it behind the growler. When they were replaced it was with silver growler with plan green painted background. I have searched for the original ones I had and have never been able to find them...I would really like the center caps that look like those badge...any help???

Hi,
Try ebay, that is where I got mine from. Far better looking than those flat ones in my opinion.

Jaguar Dealer or very much cheaper on eBay. They are available in green, red or black.

No those are the current ones i have ..I want the ones that look like your emblem on the nose of the car..not the solid green background like those .

This is my Front Bumper Badge:



This is the closest Wheel Cap I've seen to this style:



This type is available with or without the JAGUAR script.

Take off the light outer ring of the badge and that is what my original caps looked like..much prettier than then flat enamled green ones. And unlike the caps you found (thanks for looking) the caps looks like yours on your car except for the background...not flat like screen printed like the pictured ones

Graham's front bumper badge is the Victory Edition version. Ours is the same. Our center wheel caps are black background with the growler image in silver....

Mine had the same silver / black wheel caps as yours but they seem to have a short life.

Dealer didn't have any when I needed 2 replacements in January so I put a set of the old style silver / green ones on. I'll go back to the original next time they need changing.

Graham, Do you know of anywhere that this nose badge (Victory) is available to purchase?

Ok ...dumb question, (that's the beauty of the net....you can remain an anonymous knucklehead).

My wheel caps are green, matching my hood badge. Any significance to the red I've seen?

I have seen the growler wheel caps in black, green, and red. I think it just depended upon whatever parts bin the guys at the factory were pulling from that day....

Red was for the XKR.

I have a set of black ones I need to put on my XK8 to match the car's color. They came off an XJ I think.

My last XK8 NA also had the green wheel centers. +1 on the red caps belonging to the XKRs.
